Noncredit Courses Clause Samples

Noncredit Courses. The College shall waive tuition charges for employees covered by this agreement who have completed their probationary period or spouses, dependent children or stepchildren, who enroll for no more than four (4) noncredit courses per fiscal year, providing there are sufficient paid enrollments to justify offering the courses; and that the courses are not provided by an agency under contract to the College, in which case tuition cannot be waived. Other fees and charges incidental to the courses shall be paid by the employee or spouse.

Noncredit Courses. The College sponsors noncredit courses which include self-sustaining non- credits, state-aided non-credits, and contract courses. The initial offering of a noncredit course shall be submitted to the ▇▇▇▇ of Community Education and Workforce Development for approval. Self-sustaining courses are those that receive no state aid. State-aided courses are those eligible for state operating aid. Contract courses are those courses developed by the College for a specific business, industry, or profession. A. Faculty assignments 1. The person who develops a self-sustaining or state-aided non-credit course will have the right of first refusal to teach the course. If refused, the assignment will be made by the ▇▇▇▇ of Community Education and Workforce Development. 2. Qualified full-time faculty have first refusal before the course can be offered to another person, except if another person develops a course as stated in (1) above. Instructors of noncredit courses in all situations must be acceptable to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/Vice President for Academic Affairs and to the administrator in charge of the training program or course. 3. A faculty member who is teaching a full load and an overload course may also teach a noncredit course provided he/she receives approval from his/her division chair and from the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/Vice President for Academic Affairs. 4. Course instructors of contract courses or contract seminars will be expected to develop such a course to meet the needs and time frame of a specific business/industry/profession. B. Payment 1. Self-sustaining courses: the College agrees to pay the instructor a stipend equal to the revenue generated by student tuition less the cost of instructional materials and less a 30% administrative expense. The exact number of students will be determined by number of students in the course at the conclusion of the refund period. 2. State-aided courses: a. A state-aided noncredit course which carries no number will be paid at the overload rate. Payment will be prorated based on contact hours of the course. b. A noncredit state-aided course beginning with a “zero” will be treated as a credit bearing course for purposes of load and salary for a faculty member.
