The usual summer load includes teaching three semester credits over a period of four to six weeks. Additional duties for the remainder of the summer, less vacation time, include graduate study, student recruitment, institutional research, assistance on administrative projects, professional development, preparation for and revision of regular classes, and other negotiated assignments. Specific summer plans (Summer Activities Form) are filed with the school dean/department chair and in the office of the vice president for Academic Administration.
Faculty who are asked to teach more than three semester credits of undergraduate or graduate courses will receive a supplemental contract with remuneration according to the adjunct faculty pay scale.
Every third summer, full-time faculty members are eligible for a summer service leave (see, Faculty Absence, Policy 5370).
