Probationary Contracts. (a) The first three years of employment will be considered a probationary period. During the first semester of employment, the probationary faculty member will teach a reduced load (12 credit hours or 15 contact hours) to enable the probationary faculty member to be oriented to the duties of an effective faculty member, both inside and outside the classroom. The probationary faculty member during the first term will complete the faculty orientation program established by the Chief Academic Officer or designee. Recommendation regarding renewal of a probationary faculty's contract will be made by the Xxxx to the Chief Academic Officer. The retention or release of probationary faculty is at the discretion of the College and is not subject to the grievance procedure provided Section 9.03 of this article has been substantially followed. Notice of non-renewal of contract must be received by the probationary faculty no later than 45 days preceding the expiration of the current probationary contract. All probationary contracts will be one year in length (either nine or twelve months).
