Overloads are to be used to relieve temporary shortages in the availability of teaching faculty.
Responsibility for approving and administering stipends and overload requests vests with the senior vice president and provost. Budget responsibility vests with the unit making the request. A stipend request must indicate the specific responsibilities or activities for which the stipend is compensation an overload request must indicate how the request is responsive to the teaching mission needs of the unit. All requests for stipends or overload must identify the funding source. Overload will not be awarded unless the faculty member receiving the overload is already teaching twelve load hours of classroom or laboratory instruction in the semester for which overload is requested.
