Faculty and Unclassified Staff Handbook
Chapter 3 -- Faculty: Employment, Tenure, Promotion, and Merit
Salaries, Overload/Replacement/Part-Time Adjunct/Professional Unclassified Staff
Policy
A faculty member may become unable to teach an assigned on-campus or virtual course during the regular academic year. A department chair may address these circumstances by identifying a full-time, core faculty member or part-time adjunct instructor to teach the required course on an overload/replacement basis. Department chairs may also identify professional unclassified staff members to teach overload on-campus or virtual classes.
Payment Procedures
1. The standard rate of remuneration per credit hour for all nine-month, core faculty teaching in an overload status to replace an assigned course instructor is 2.22 percent of the faculty’s base salary per unit. Salaries for chairs and other administrators teaching these courses will be calculated on the nine month component of a 12-month contract.
2. The standard rate of remuneration for professional unclassified staff is calculated by converting the 12-month base salary to an 11-month equivalent (divide 12-month base by 11). Multiply that figure by 20% times credit hours to a maximum of $3,095. If this figure is less than $2,495, then they will be paid based upon the part-time salary scale with the starting salary of $2,495 up to a maximum of $3,095 after completion of 10 years of teaching experience. Full-time professional staff shall teach not more than 6 credit hours of overload during a semester.
3. The rate of remuneration per course for a part-time adjunct instructor hired to replace a full-time, core faculty member to teach either on or off-campus will be as follows:
Years of Service as Adjunct | Salary per "0" Courses | Per Hour Salary for Other Type Courses |
0-3 | $2495 | $832 |
4-6 | $2695 | $898 |
7-10 | $2895 | $965 |
11 and above | $3095 | $1032 |
1. Faculty will be paid $15 per credit hour for each student above 40 in an off-campus class.
2. All off-campus courses with registration below 10 will be pro-rated.
3. This payment schedule applies to all new on-campus part-time adjuncts.
