Faculty Teaching Load
09/02/2014
Whereas
the UNC General Administration (GA) Policy 400.3.4 section 5 on Monitoring Faculty
Teaching Workloads specifies that faculty in Masters Comprehensive I institutions have
an assigned load of six (6) classes per academic year; and
Whereas
UNCW has had a classification of Masters Comprehensive I status since 2000; and
Whereas
the current Academic Affairs Faculty Workload Policy (indicating eight three-credit
courses per academic year) is inconsistent with the GA policy,
Resolved
that the Academic Affairs policy be edited to comply with section 5 the UNC GA Policy
Faculty Teaching Workloads as follows:
A full workload for UNCW faculty is considered to be a teaching assignment of four
three, three-credit hour courses per semester (including credit hour equivalencies-CHEs),
but that three four, three-credit hour courses may be assigned to faculty without researchactive status, based on their involvement with research, scholarship, and/or artistic or
creative activities.
Respectfully submitted,
UNCW Faculty Welfare Committee
