SECTION 800 - HUMAN RESOURCES
802.07a SUMMER ASSIGNMENTS
COMPENSATION/GUIDELINES
FOR FACULTY
Full-time, tenure-track faculty
members who wish to teach during the summer semester will need to review the
procedures and responsibilities involved. Such faculty members are eligible,
if classes are available, to teach one
three-or four-hour class for ten (10) percent or two three- or four-hour
classes for twenty (20) percent of their regular nine month compensation for
the previous academic year. In addition, with Department Chair approval, they
may teach an additional class for part-time pay. Faculty members teaching for percentage pay, in addition to teaching one or two classes, have
a professional commitment to:
· work on curriculum, participate in advisement and consult with students;
· assist with registration, drop/add, and registration for fall;
· work on projects assigned by the Department Chair
The faculty member and the department chair should have in writing the faculty member’s distribution of office hours and other professional obligations relating to GPC.
Faculty teaching one
class for ten (10) percent will maintain at least 30 hours of professional
commitment and office hours during the summer term they teach. These hours should be distributed evenly
throughout the 5 or 11 weeks of the term.
Faculty teaching two classes
for twenty (20) percent will maintain at least 60 hours of professional
commitment and office hours per week during the summer term they teach. These hours should be distributed evenly
throughout the 5 or 11 weeks of the term.
Faculty teaching distance learning classes will be expected to hold an
appropriate number of office hours on campus as a portion of the total office
hours required in order to fulfill their professional commitment to the
College.
Office hours, which include time devoted to professional commitment, must be scheduled at times beneficial to students
and the Department. For those who wish
to teach courses without the additional responsibilities described above,
part-time pay is available.
Full-time, temporary instructors are not eligible for percentage pay. If offered a summer assignment, payment will be at the part-time faculty rate.
