TEACHING LOAD AND OVERLOAD TEACHING

The normal teaching load for faculty who are productively engaged in scholarly research that regularly leads to publication is 18 credit hours per year, or the equivalent. Faculty who are not thus engaged normally teach 24 credits per year, or the equivalent. For faculty who are extraordinarily productive in research and publication, who carry unusual administrative or service duties, or who receive grants providing for additional released time, these teaching duties may be reduced by their deans. Faculty members, regardless of approved teaching loads, may teach an overload only in extraordinary circumstances with the permission of the chair and dean.
