Faculty Teaching Load Full-time faculty members are issued contracts for at least one academic year. In addition to teaching requirements, faculty are expected to participate in advising and scholarly or creative activities, curriculum development, policy making, and institutional planning and governance. External learning and special projects courses may be included in the calculation of faculty loads if the class size exceeds 11 students. Classes with 5 to 11 students are treated as overload classes for pay purposes.
Overload is paid for equated hours over the normal teaching load as defined in the term contract.
