Common use of Class Size and Compensation Clause in Contracts

Class Size and Compensation. Class size will be determined by the College’s mission, values, and goals. The College considers reasonable minimum class size to be eight (8) students. There is no guarantee a section will run with an enrollment of fewer than eight (8) students. The College understands there may be classes with a maximum capacity below eight (8) students due to extenuating circumstances, such as limited course and/or room resources, or graduating student need. Those sections will be exempt from this provision and an appropriate section capacity will be determined by the Chairperson in conjunction with the faculty. Internship, clinical, and practicum sections are also exempt from this class size standard and will be staffed in accordance with program accreditation standards. The Chairperson, in consultation with the Xxxx, may temporarily increase by up to four (4) students the maximum class size in a section in order to mitigate the impact of deregistration. The Chairperson will confer with the affected faculty before increasing the course maximums. After the deregistration period, the Chairperson will restore the affected section to the original maximum class size to prevent additional students from enrolling after deregistration. If the course runs with a class size larger than the cap due to this temporary increase, the faculty member will be paid in accordance with Article 23.07- (Enrollment over Maximum) for the additional students. No student will be signed into a section above the cap without the permission of the instructor.
