Pilot Program. In an effort to contribute to the success of students, on a pilot basis beginning in Spring 2023 and continuing through December 31, 2025 only, the District will budget two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for the year to provide for a limited number of paid additional office hours for adjunct professors for both the fall and spring semesters. The budgeted amount will be distributed equally over fall and spring, and any amounts not used will be rolled over to the following academic year to supplement the budgeted two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). The time of weekly student office hours shall be in writing and communicated to the students via the course syllabus and the college’s learning management system. Adjunct professors may be approved up to a maximum of eight (8) total hours. Adjunct professors shall provide a plan to the Educational Administrator on how they will distribute their approved total hours. Student office hours must be scheduled during a time students are reasonably expected to be available. Student office hours are potentially available to those adjunct professors who choose to apply for student office hour funding. Student office hours will be communicated to students by the adjunct professor providing an updated syllabus and notice on the college’s learning management system. It is up to the adjunct professor to identify a student office hour location in collaboration with the educational administrator. The Vice President or Xxxxxxx will invite adjunct professors to participate in the pilot program. Adjunct professors who are interested must complete the appropriate request form by Friday of the first week of each semester. Priority will be given to adjunct professors with the greatest amount of LHE all the way down to the least LHE. Determination by the area Vice President or Xxxxxxx will be made no later than the second week of the semester.
