Prior to determining course schedules for future semesters, each immediate supervisor shall request each bargaining unit member's availability for assignments and should make reasonable attempts to accommodate bargaining unit member’s requests with regard to his/her required load for that semester. Reasonable attempts should be made to resolve conflicts with assignments.

Teaching assignments will be made in a fair and equitable manner among qualified and credentialed faculty based on criteria including, but not limited to, credentials, expertise, performance, experience with the same or similar courses and seniority.
