Procedural Overview

All required approvals for assigned time must be obtained in advance, before the work begins. Without advance approval, work has not been authorized and cannot commence.

Understanding Assigned Time
Full Time Faculty Total Workload = 15 WTUs (12 teaching, 3 service).

  • Faculty are often given assignments that fall outside of their scope of teaching. When this happens, their 
    workload must be adjusted. This means their teaching workload gets reduced to accommodate the new assigned 
    time being offered.
  • The pay for the Full Time faculty does not change, just the assigned time workload.
