If the class has fewer than ten (10) students, the instructor will be compensated at a rate of .3 or .4 per semester during student depending on the academic yearmaximum credit hours the course carries. The Xxxx first time a specific internship or designee apprenticeship is offered, compensation will distribute be given for the challenge exams equitably among purpose of establishing sufficient intern contacts. The number of units will be mutually agreed upon by the discipline faculty over member and the xxxx.
(i) A faculty member, with their prior consent, may teach an under- enrolled section of a course which will count as a prorated number of contact hours. In consideration of the academic year.
4.3.13.1 The discipline contact hours between faculty and students, and the time spent preparing materials, which are not affected by enrollment, salary shall not be prorated below 50% of contact hours. Therefore, the prorated load will be calculated as follows: contact hours multiplied by (.50 + .05n), where n is the number of students enrolled (e.g. 6 students in which a 4-contact hour class would be 4 x (0.5 + (0.05) x 6) = 3.2) until there is an enrollment of 10 students in the Credit by Challenge Exam is administered will receive fifty percent (50%) section.

4.3.2 In the event that a Unit Member's load assignment for one (1) semester contains fewer than, or more than, the hours required for a full load, the underage or overage will be carried over to the next semester. The Unit Member's load may be adjusted in the next semester by increasing or decreasing the number of instructional hours. If the underage is or exceeds two (2) LHE, that underage must be cleared from the next available overload. If the variance exceeds two (2) hours or more, the adjustment shall be made in the next semester, unless there is mutual agreement between the Unit Member and the Xxxx to postpone the adjustment.
4.3.3 A Unit Member teaching on contract may be required to teach an evening class in order to complete his/her contract teaching load.

Tenure-track and tenured Librarians may choose to work 4.5 fewer hours per week in order to devote themselves to scholarship and receive 1.5 credits of overload teaching or additional work assignment payment for extra payeach semester. Exceptions In the xxxxxxx, tenure-track and tenured librarians will continue to devote 4.5 hours per week to scholarship and will receive 2/9 of three (3) credits of overload compensation each summer in recognition of their working eleven (11), instead of ten (10), months per year. In conjunction with the University Librarian, these 4.5-hour increments can be scheduled flexibly and, where possible, aggregated to permit usage in 7.25 hour increments provided the other scheduling needs of the library are met. For example, a Librarian under this limit paragraph would apply 18 hours toward scholarship in a four week period. That Librarian may have two 7.25 hour days devoted to scholarship scheduled by the University Librarian during this period, with a balance of 3.5 hours to be applied in a subsequent week. Tenure-track and tenured librarians will be subject to the same scholarship review process as other faculty. The scheduling of scholarship time under this section shall be granted with coordinated and approved by the written approval University Librarian. Non tenure-track librarians shall not be eligible for the benefits listed in this paragraph.

For example, if two faculty members each teach half of a fullthree-time Unit Member.
4.3.13 credit course, then both faculty members shall receive 1.5 credits toward their credit load. If the course is taught in a “fully-integrated” style, then each faculty member will receive the same credit for the course as if they were teaching the course individually. A Unit Member fully-integrated style of team-teaching requires that the course is collaboratively designed, taught, and graded, and both instructors attend and participate in nearly all class meetings. Team-taught courses, that have previously been approved shall be required reviewed again by the Chair, the Xxxx and the Xxxxxxx, and if approved as designated, have their faculty load assignments added to accept Credit by Challenge Exam students not to exceed ten (10) per semester during the academic year. The Xxxx or designee will distribute the challenge exams equitably among the discipline faculty over the course of description and approved no later than June 30, 2019.

4.3.3.1 Select an evening contract assignment within the School for which the Xxxx and the Unit Member agree that the Unit Member is qualified to teach.
4.3.3.2 Replace a day part-time Unit Member in a scheduled class within the School that the Unit Member and the Xxxx agree that the Unit Member is qualified to teach. The Xxxx will not be required to adjust class meeting times in order to create this option.
4.3.3.3 Request a reduction in service leave for the semester in lieu of a night contract class assignment.
4.3.4 If the Unit Member is assigned to teach a contract evening course, then he/she shall not be assigned a contract class prior to 9:00 a.m. the following day without the Unit Member's consent. If a Unit Member is assigned to teach an evening contract class, the Xxxx will make an effort to avoid assigning that Unit Member a day class on the same day. The parties recognize that this provision doesn't require the Xxxx to change another Unit Member's schedule without his/her consent.
4.3.5 If the Unit Member refuses to accept any of the three (3) available options, the Xxxx shall assign the Unit Member to a class for which the Unit Member is qualified to teach.
4.3.6 The Xxxx, with the approval of the cognizant Vice President, may offer a Unit Member reassigned time for a special project to fulfill a contract agreement.
4.3.7 Normally, a teaching load consists of no more than three (3) separate preparations. Face-to-face and on-line sections of the same course are considered separate preparations. In some cases, Unit Member preference or necessity requires the assignment of more than three (3) preparations. Such exceptions are to be determined by the Xxxx after consultation with the Unit Member involved. The necessity to exceed three (3) separate preparations in one (1) semester shall be related to the curricular offerings within the School, the time constraints of the schedule, and/or the availability of a contract Unit Member to teach the courses offered within the School.
4.3.8 A Unit Member shall not be required to accept Independent Study students.
4.3.9 A Unit Member may not be assigned to more than three (3) consecutive hours of lecture, except when a single class meeting exceeds three (3) hours, or two (2) laboratory or activity classes in one (1) day unless by prior agreement between the Unit Member and the Xxxx.
4.3.10 The Xxxx shall consult with the Unit Member in the development of his/ her preliminary teaching schedule.
4.3.11 Full-time Unit Members may accept up to six (6) hours per week of overload teaching or additional work assignment for extra pay. Exceptions to this limit shall be granted with the written approval of the cognizant Xxxx and the cognizant Vice President. The S.C.E.
A. President shall be notified of these exceptions in writing within one (1) week of their approval.
4.3.12 A part-time instructor employed on the part-time salary schedule may not be assigned to teach more than sixty-seven (67%) of the load required of a full-time Unit Memberfaculty member shall be 15 contact hours.
4.3.13 (b) The normal load for faculty members in the English discipline/program will be 15 contact hours; however, faculty who select two or more composition classes in English 099, 101 or 102 will have a load of 12 contact hours.
(c) A Unit Member faculty member shall select from the Master Schedule a full load, which may include release hours for the following positions:
I. Faculty/program coordinators (as defined in Section 12.2) ii. Elected department chairs iii. Elected Local 3816 Executive Council.
(d) Private music lessons will not count as load and will be paid on a separate fee-per-student basis.
(e) Should a faculty member's load fall below normal load (15 contact hours; English, 12) due to course cancellation, the faculty member will typically select another class according to the procedures outlined in Section 4.12 (Application of Seniority and Rotation to Work Above the Regular Course Load). Alternatively, he/she may choose to use a variable load between semesters, i.e., his/her load may be unequally divided between the fall and spring semesters of any academic year and the following summer session, provided that the teaching load for any one semester does not fall below 50 percent of regular teaching load. Within a 12- month period, the faculty member must be able to fulfill the year’s load agreement. Lastly, a faculty member may exercise the option to forfeit an amount equal to the current highest adjunct rate for each contact hour below normal load. A faculty member may exercise this option no more than once in a 3-year period and may forfeit no more than 6 contact hours in any 6-year period.
(f) In the event the faculty member's load exceeds 15 contact hours, he/she shall be required paid on an overload basis. Compensation for overloads will be calculated by multiplying the appropriate rate times the amount that the total contact hour assignment exceeds 15. For faculty assigned two or more composition classes in English 099, 101 or 102, the faculty member shall be paid on an overload basis when load exceeds 12 contact hours.
(g) A faculty member, with his/her consent, may be assigned an overload for any semester. The maximum contact hours that may be assigned to a faculty member for any one semester is 23. However, faculty who select two or more composition classes in English 099, 101 or 102 may accept Credit by Challenge Exam students not to exceed 20 hours for any one semester.
(h) A faculty member who selects an internship or apprenticeship as part of his/her load will be compensated using the maximum credit hours that the course carries if the class has ten (10) or more students enrolled (i.e., a 3-credit hour class will carry a 3-hour load.) If the class has fewer than ten (10) students, the instructor will be compensated at a rate of .3 or .4 per semester during student depending on the academic yearmaximum credit hours the course carries. The Xxxx first time a specific internship or designee apprenticeship is offered, compensation will distribute be given for the challenge exams equitably among purpose of establishing sufficient intern contacts. The number of units will be mutually agreed upon by the discipline faculty over member and the xxxx.
(I) A faculty member, with his/her prior consent, may be assigned to teach an under-enrolled section of a course which will count as a pro-rated number of contact hours. The pro-rated load will be calculated as follows: the number of students times .1 for each contact hour of the course (e.g., 3 students in a 4-credit hour class would be 3 X .4 = 1.2 contact hours) until there is an enrollment of 10 students in the academic yearsection. No section with 10 students or more may be pro-rated.
4.3.13.1 The discipline in which the Credit by Challenge Exam is administered will receive fifty percent (50%) of the Challenge Exam fee, to be transferred to a departmental fund at the end of each semester, for the exclusive use by faculty within the discipline administering the exam.
