Full-Time Teaching Load

A teaching load for full-time instructors will be 15 credit hours per week.

For the purpose of computing load, one hour of laboratory is the equivalent of .70 hour of lecture.
Any combination of courses taught in the same time period will be computed as one course.

Full-time instructors with non-teaching contracts (program directors) have additional responsibilities commensurate with their professional training. Their teaching loads will be less than 15 credit hours due to the additional responsibilities.

Full-time instructors may be asked or volunteer to teach additional hours. The instructional salary will be adjusted for teaching more than 15 lecture or the equivalent hours per week per current college salary policy.

For additional information about teaching loads, see policy F.020.22 in the Policy Handbook.

A minimum enrollment of 10 students is required for a class to be paid at the full part-time/overload instruction rate. The President may approve classes with fewer than 10 students and set the instructor’s salary at a lower amount per credit hour according to the following pay schedule*:
