Faculty are assigned by their chair to teach in their major fields, insofar as possible. They may, however, be assigned to teach in their minor fields in accordance with standards of accrediting associations. Pay for overload teaching will be based on the Part-time Instructor Salary Schedule rates. Office Hours Full-time faculty members must have regular office hours for teaching preparation, student advising, and other incidental tasks required for teaching. The schedule of classroom and office hours must be posted as soon after registration as possible.
Some situations demand that full-time faculty be asked to teach an overload.
These guidelines are designed to prevent faculty effectiveness from being diminished by overloads. The assignment of a one-course overload will be at the department chair's discretion. The assignment of a two-course overload will require division chair's approval in writing with a copy being forwarded to the appropriate Executive Committee member. Any overload assignment above two courses will require approval of the appropriate Executive Committee member. Request for approval must be accompanied by a statement signed by the instructor agreeing to the overload and by a statement of justification from either the department or division chair.
