Faculty Workload and Workload Equivalents

All full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty in the department are expected to carry a maximum workload of twenty-four (24) credit hours of instruction per academic year.  Full-Time non-tenure track are expected to carry a maximum workload of thirty (30) credit hours of instruction per academic year (See, University policy 6- 18). The workload for each individual faculty member is assigned by the
department Chair and approved by the Dean.  Normally, all full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty will be assigned no less than a 2 course (12 credit hours) teaching load in each semester of each academic year.  Exceptions to this expectation may be permitted for an assignment as Graduate or Undergraduate Coordinator only with the written approval of the Dean.  The department Chair, in consultation with the Faculty Advisory Committee, shall specify which types of activities, in addition to instruction, shall be the equivalent of a full-time workload assignment, twenty-four (24) credit hours or thirty (30) credit hours, as applicable, for each full-time faculty member in the department.
