Common use of Probationary Contracts Clause in Contracts

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). (b) If a new faculty member is first employed under a contract of less than one full academic year, probationary status will not be offered until the faculty member receives a regular academic year faculty appointment, unless waived by the Chief Academic Officer. (c) In the case of a probationary faculty who is not performing satisfactorily but shows improvement, the Xxxx may recommend to the Chief Academic Officer that the probationary period be extended for one additional year. The same procedures as above shall then apply for that year. The probationary period shall not last more than four years. (d) When a faculty member has their probationary status modified (e.g., extended, terminated, other), the NCSFA-AAUP will be notified in writing in a timely manner.
