Therefore faculty members who are assigned the equivalent of 15 semester hours of teaching will not be expected to be involved in an ongoing program of scholarship beyond what is necessary to support their teaching assignment nor will they be expected to have service responsibilities beyond advisement and routine committee work required to participate in their academic communities. Each faculty member is expected to assist with the academic advisement program at Armstrong Atlantic State University. The head of the department in which a student is majoring is responsible for the academic advisement of the student. The department head may delegate the responsibility to a member of the departmental faculty. The advisement procedure is under the general direction of the vice president and dean of faculty, who works through the deans and department heads.
All faculty members have a responsibility to accept assignment to registration duties.
Assignments are made by the department head. Under the supervision of the dean of the college, department heads are responsible for determining which courses are needed each quarter. Course needs are submitted to the dean of the college and to the registrar, who supervises both an annual and a quarterly schedule. The vice president and dean of faculty is the final authority on scheduling, deleting, and adding classes. An instructor may not change the scheduled time or place of meeting for a class without prior approval of the department head and the dean of the college.
