Common use of Weekly Workload Regulations, By Class Clause in Contracts

Weekly Workload Regulations, By Class. Classroom Faculty Workloads For both credit and noncredit faculty, at least two (2) of the five (5) required weekly student hours must be scheduled office hours. Noncredit faculty may substitute three (3) of the required five (5) weekly student hours for additional preparation, grading, and evaluation hours. Counseling Workloads No fewer than 31 of the 40 weekly work hours and no fewer than six (6) of the ten (10) preparation and student hours shall be worked on campus. Counselors may substitute five (5) of the required five (5) weekly student hours for additional preparation, grading, and evaluation hours. Counselors assigned to teach classes are designated as classroom faculty for that portion of their workload, which is computed accordingly. Librarian Workloads Librarians not assigned in whole or in part to other duties (classroom instruction, reassignment, etc.) will be assigned 30 weekly contact hours of librarian duties. Normal librarian duties include reference services, technical services, collection development, orientation, electronic resource development, display coordination, SEC/CCC site duties, and comparable professional tasks. Of such duties, no more than fifteen (15) weekly contact hours may be assigned to reference services. Librarians may be assigned as instructors of record to scheduled class sections. In such cases, the portion of the workload associated with classroom teaching is computed according to standards defined for that teaching assignment, and the balance of librarian duties is adjusted accordingly. Any such adjustment shall not limit the maximum assignment to reference services as defined above unless the balance of librarian duties falls below 15 weekly contact hours. Librarians shall be governed by the same provisions as classroom faculty with respect to the contractual obligation of five (5) weekly student hours.
