Faculty Load. The faculty load for each individual unit member comprises the total hours per week of his/her assigned load. Where activities or events in such areas as dance, forensics, music, athletics, and the like, by nature of the assignment, extend to periods before or after the academic year, beyond District contractual work load requirements, during normal instructional holiday periods, or other, and these events or activities are voluntarily scheduled by the individual unit member -- such activities or events shall then be regarded as a part of the total assignment and shall not be considered for extra-pay or compensation.

Faculty endeavor to provide opportunities and support for students to learn through their commitment to excellent facilitation of learning; student, institutional and community service; and their own professional development. An academic “hour” is defined as 50 minutes. To meet this commitment the following load is assigned to faculty at North Central State College. The on-campus/off-campus faculty workload is expected to reflect a 40 hour work week that includes the following: • 15 credit or 18 contact hours of direct facilitation of learning • 18 to 21 hours of classroom support* and institutional support** with active faculty participation in each support area. • 4 office hours (in-person or virtual) or a combination of both with the approval of the Xxxx. *Classroom support includes any activities used to facilitate learning in assigned courses, which may include, but is not limited to: • Preparing lectures • Reviewing lectures • Grading • Keeping current on course material through books, journals, and websites • Interacting with students at times other than scheduled office hours in support of learning activities • Preparing labs • Maintaining labs • Preparing assignments • Preparing and administering evaluation tools • Maintaining course syllabi • Maintaining course outlines • Maintaining course objectives • Creating and reviewing course materials used • Participating as a Course Coordinator • All other activities that enable the faculty member to provide learner-centered activities to meet the student outcomes of the course • Complete course and program assessment activities **Institutional Support Activities may include, but are not limited to: Committees: • Serving as the Chair of a committee • Serving as a committee member Meetings: • Attending monthly department meetings • Attending monthly division meetings • Attending advisory committee meetings (if applicable, one per semester) • Attending graduation • Attending two-day Convocation • Attending yearly In-Service • Attending President’s Forum (5th Thurs...
Faculty Load. The full-time teaching load for a faculty member during the academic year shall be considered to consist of fifteen (15) contact hours per week except as provided below:
(a) Faculty instructing classes that have a semester hour to class hour ratio of one (1) to one (1) will be scheduled for fourteen (14) to sixteen
Faculty Load. Faculty teaching load is assigned by the College Xxxx in consultation with program faculty. Faculty teaching load is calculated in terms of load hours. The number of load hours credited for courses is equal to the credit hours assigned to the course. As assigned by the College Xxxx, a course taught using alternative, asynchronous, or other modality shall be inloaded equivalent to the number of credits assigned to the course. Exceptions to this are as follows:
1. Writing courses (WR) carry one additional load hour per course.
2. Student teaching supervision for one-term undergraduates and full-year graduates is equal to one load hour.
3. Science Labs utilize a 1.0 load factor (that is, each 3 hour lab is counted as 3 load hours).
Faculty Load. 4.2.1 STANDARD FULL-TIME INSTRUCTIONAL WORKLOAD The teaching load for full-time teaching faculty is thirty (30) instructor credit hours per academic year. Instructor credit hours will be defined as the following ratios:
a. One
(1) scheduled lecture hour per week per semester equals one (1) instructor credit hour.
b. One (1) scheduled lab hour per week per semester equals one (1) instructor credit hour.
c. Whenever a section has more than one (1) assigned faculty, the number of instructor credit hours will be divided by the number of faculty administratively assigned to that section according to the ratio of their respective responsibilities.
d. In programs (including open labs) where lab course hours make up 40 percent or more of the faculty member’s load (per semester), special consideration may be given when calculating load. Supervising administrator(s) will consider the following possibilities in order to make the lab experience the best possible for the student and the faculty. assignment other than 30 hours may constitute a full load lab help in the form of student or professional assistant use of part-time instructor(s) to help carry load If the supervising administrator and faculty cannot reach agreement on extra lab help or instructor credit hours for full load, the President of the College, after discussion with the faculty and supervising administrator, will make the final decision as to what is a fair semester load.
e. The full load for faculty assigned to an open lab will be twenty (20) contact hours per week, i.e., twenty (20) contact hours per week for 16 weeks in an open lab is equal to 15 load hours. Any hours less than 20 in an open lab will be pro-rated. Open labs may include developmental coursework and any other new open labs established. For faculty who are assigned lecture courses as well as open lab teaching, the load will be determined by calculating the percentage of load in each category (lecture versus open lab). Example: Faculty member is assigned 10 hours per week in an open math lab assignment (which equals 7.5 credits toward semester load). The remaining teaching assignments of 7.5 or more credits are assigned to constitute a full-time load. Courses beyond the total 30 full time credit load for the academic year would be calculated at the overload rate.
f. For faculty teaching in the ADN program, one (1) scheduled clinical hour per week per semester equals one (1.00) instructor credit hours.
g. It is understood and agr...

Faculty Load. If a faculty member is at risk for not fulfilling his/her contract load for a given semester covered by this Amendment One due to low enrollment, the faculty member will be provided with flexible options to fulfill his/her contract obligations without requiring an extra term agreement or application of dynamic banking for the WLU associated with at least one (1) course per tenn. Options may include scheduling new courses within the faculty member's two (2) teaching terms (per the current CBA) and/or arranging release time for approved College projects/initiatives. Per the CBA, full-time faculty will be given preference over adjunct faculty for courses for contract load and overload. Per the CBA, overload will be granted once load is met. If a faculty member chooses to pursue a third term agreement, then that agreement will be paid per the CBA terms regardless of what means were pursued to facilitate the faculty member reaching load status in the previous two (2) semester sequence. Note: any combination of two semesters applies, as is articulated in the current CBA.
