Definition

Full-time instructional personnel are employees whose designated duties involve teaching and associated College service as defined in the full-time faculty, librarian, designated faculty, professor of practice and academic chair position descriptions. Instructional personnel are to be employed under written annual or continuing contracts, as required by Rules 6A-14.041 and 6A-14.0411, FAC.

9-Month Contract

The 9-Month Contract guarantees full-time instructional employment for the Fall and Spring Terms in the relevant academic year or contract year. For the 2025-2026 contract year this embraces specific duty days during the time period from August 22, 2025, through May 1, 2026 Full-time instructional employment in this context means that the minimum instructional load required of a full-time instructor during the academic/contract year will be 30 semester hours of credit class instruction, usually scheduled as 15 credit hours in the Fall semester and 15 credit hours in the Spring semester. Full-time faculty are also expected to engage in service to the College per the faculty position description approved by the College Senate. To continue full-time status and the benefits that accrue to this status, it is expected that this minimum teaching load will be maintained. Exceptions may occur to the above minimum term loading requirements for full-time instructional employees because of special program/discipline loading needs. Any assignment of an instructional load in excess of these limitations must be specifically approved by the President or his/her designee after it has been determined that such assignment is in the best interest of the College.

Designated Faculty

The Designated Faculty Contract guarantees full-time employment for 9 months over the Fall and Spring Terms in the relevant academic year or contract year. For the 2025- 2026 contract year this embraces specific duty days during the time period from August 22, 2025, through May 1, 2026. Full-time employment in this context is a combination of instructional assignments and other duties associated with tutoring, academic coaching, and other academic and student support functions comparable to the standard instructional load required of a full-time 9-month instructor during the academic/contract year which is normally 30 semester hours of credit class instruction or non-instructional units, usually scheduled as 15 credit hours in the Fall semester and 15 credit hours in the Spring semester. Service as a Designated Faculty member is evaluated annually and is not eligible for continuing contract consideration.

12-Month Contract

The 12-Month Contract extends the time and duties commitment of the instructor to a full academic/contract year of prescribed service to the College, from July 1 through June 30 each year. The 12-Month Contract requires the instructor holding such a contract to be assigned duties, administrative, professional and/or instructional, for a total equal to 42 semester credit hours of assigned duties and the instructor is required to perform those additional administrative, professional and/or instructional duties during the designated workdays of the College. Most full-time, 12month faculty, unless otherwise specified, work a 40-hour workweek from Sunday through Saturday for eight (8) hours per day over various days during the work period or any combination of days and hours to equal 40 during the Sunday through Saturday workweek. Work schedules are documented and approved by the appropriate member of ELT. Additional duties performed in lieu of teaching shall be documented on the instructor loadsheet of the individuals concerned. Full-time faculty are also expected to engage in service to the College per the faculty position description approved by the College Senate. To continue full-time status and the benefits that accrue to this status, it is expected that this minimum teaching load will be maintained. Exceptions may occur to the above minimum term loading requirements for full-time instructional employees because of special program/discipline loading needs. Any assignment of an instructional load exceeding these limitations must be specifically approved by the President or his/her designee after it has been determined that such assignment is in the best interest of the College.

Librarian

A 12-month faculty position that is eligible for continuing contract based on duties related to developing, preparing, and teaching a variety of coursework related to information literacy and library skills, providing library reference and consultation services, collecting and managing library resources, creating and maintaining instructional materials, and serving as a library subject area specialist. The Librarian position typically works 40 hours weekly with a 12-month contract that runs from July 1 鈥� June 30 each year and requires duties be performed during the designated workdays of the College.

Professor of Practice

Will be a pilot program for the 2025-2026 academic year to formalize a position description, develop evaluative materials and refine terms and conditions. This is intended to be a 12- month faculty position compensated based on the 12-month salary schedule with a contract that runs from July 1 鈥� June 30 each year requiring duties be performed during the designated workdays of the College. The professor of practice contract is based on a 40-hour work week to fulfill responsibilities associated with the position. A significant portion of these hours will be spent on site providing instruction, being available to students, and performing professional responsibilities that may include lab management and other activities that support academic instruction and student learning; as such, the position is not eligible for continuing contract. The Professor of Practice will be evaluated annually on their instructional and non-instructional work.

Academic Chair

The academic department chair provides leadership, direction, and support to the academic department by: facilitating the operational functions; providing a vision for the department and articulating College goals; coordinating the review of curriculum and assessment of student learning and engagement; providing management and allocation of financial and human resources; recruitment, development, retention and scheduling of faculty and staff; accepting responsibility for reporting, compliance, and other accountabilities while creating an effective working environment that encourages scholarly and creative activities in the pursuit of excellence in teaching leading to outstanding educational programs. The chair must be an advocate of faculty and a representative of the administration, serving as a consensus builder while providing an open forum for faculty, staff and students. The 12-Month Contract requires duties be performed during the designated workdays of the College. Most academic chairs, unless otherwise specified, work a 40-hour workweek from Sunday through Saturday.

Part-Time Instructor

A part-time instructor, not otherwise employed by the College, is a temporary member of the instructional staff who is employed for a specific period of time, i.e., on a term-by-term basis, to teach specified courses at a specified rate of pay, and termination is automatic at the end of each period. The part-time instructor is not a salaried employee of the College and does not participate in employee benefits programs established for full-time salaried employees of the College. A part-time instructor otherwise employed by the College shall be governed by the Salary Schedule for his/her primary employment designation and will be limited to working no more than 28.5 hours weekly in all employment capacities within the College, which is approximately twelve (12) instructional credit hours, or equivalent, per term. Terms are defined as Fall (September-December), Spring (January-April), and Summer (May- August).

Substitute Instructor

The President or his/her designee may arrange for a qualified instructor on an as-required basis. Substitute instruction should not exceed 33% of scheduled classes for any course per term. A substitute instructor may be either an appropriately credentialed full-time or part-time College employee or a credentialed instructor appointed and employed specifically for substitute service for the time period during which the regularly assigned instructor is absent. Maximum work hour limitations for part-time employees apply. Required services are to be clearly specified in the employment arrangement and documented in the personnel files. The beginning and ending hours of the workday for which a substitute instructor is appointed will be clearly specified in the appointment document. Substitute pay cannot be earned by a 12-month employee during his/her normal workday. Substitute pay can be received by a 12-month employee for classes taught in addition to their standard workweek, and appropriate documentation must be provided to Human Resources for the personnel file to support that the work is outside of the standard working hours or how time missed from the standard working hours is being made up.

Terms of Employment

In general, each employee of the College is obligated by the employment agreement to commit a given amount of time and effort to assigned duties. Instructional personnel are required to fulfill the instructional load specified in their respective contracts and the College service described in the full-time and part-time faculty and designated faculty position descriptions, the daily commitment of time to related duties prescribed in the approved Salary Schedule and be subject to appropriate assignments by the President or his/her designee during the duty days prescribed in their respective contracts. Academic chairs are expected to fulfill the duties described in the academic chair position description during the duty days prescribed in their respective contracts while committing to a minimum of 40 hours of work weekly. The College further expects that all faculty and academic chairs possess and maintain the ability to plan and carry out the complete scope of their instructional and administrative assignments on an ongoing basis.

Faculty Grading

Among the many duties that faculty have, grading student work is one of the most important. Grading enables faculty to determine a student鈥檚 progress as well as how effectively that assignment meets its pedagogical goals. Assessment of student work for the purpose of grades must be done by a person authorized by the College who possesses the appropriate credentials. Student grades and records are FERPA protected and therefore nonpublic and restricted to designated College employees who by nature of their official position descriptions are afforded access. Given those elements, grading must be done only by authorized employees of the College. Any grading of student work or entry of grades by unauthorized individuals may result in legal and contractual penalties, including termination. Faculty must submit final grades in accordance with College calendar.

Exam Week Responsibilities

The College schedules a 4-day exam week at the end of each Fall and Spring semester. Faculty are to be available to meet and communicate with students face-to- face, via email/LMS, and/or by phone, throughout exam weeks. These days are included in the faculty member鈥檚 total number of contract days. Students have the right to meet in person, on campus, with faculty throughout this week for traditional classes and have the right to meet virtually for online classes. Faculty who opt not to be available during this week must submit leave forms within their allocated personal days per year and make appropriate arrangements with their chair or director to provide support for the students during missed time.

Independent Study Courses

These courses are taught at the discretion of the individual full-time faculty member with approval of the appropriate department chair/director. Faculty do not receive additional loading for these classes.

Clock Hour Conversion

Whenever instructional loads are expressed in terms of 鈥渟emester credit hours鈥� in this Salary Schedule, they may be converted to 鈥渘on-credit instructional clock hours鈥� by using the formula of 25 non-credit instructional clock hours equal a semester credit hour equivalent. This formula may vary by program based on approval by the Provost. Variations from the standard must be documented and justified.

Contract Days

The full-time faculty contract requires the instructor to commit a definite number of days of service to assigned instructional/non-instructional duties. The full-time and designated faculty contract is based on a predetermined number of contract days each academic year. Any faculty member who is absent from their assignments for a contract day must submit a leave form for eight (8) hours. Any full-time faculty member who is absent from his/her overload assignment shall be docked the prorated amount equal to the amount that would have been earned during the same timeframe. Full-time faculty who miss a portion of a contract day will submit a leave form for the equivalent portion missed using the 鈥�Partial Days Missed鈥� worksheet to calculate. Part-time faculty who miss a class will be docked the prorated dollar amount equal to the amount that would have been earned for that time frame. The full-time administrative chair contract is based on a predetermined number of contract days each academic year. Any academic chair who is absent from their assignments must submit leave in accordance with College Rule 3.20.

Contract Hours

The full-time faculty contract and the Salary Schedule are based upon the assumption that full-time faculty are devoting 40hours per week to work associated with their faculty positions. A significant portion of these hours will be spent on campus in fulfillment of the following minimum weekly time commitment (with the exception of exam weeks):

1. Assigned teaching hours of 15 credit hours or equivalent.
2. Ten (10) hours per week of scheduled office time for availability to students.
3. Ten (10) hours per week of time for instructional preparation, related instructional activities, and assessment of student learning.
4. Time as required to meet professional obligations, including, but not limited to, assessment of curriculum, departmental meetings, committee assignments, professional development and special study groups, etc.
5. For annual contract faculty, the weekly time commitment requirement must include sufficient on-campus time for participation in the activities described above to allow for adequate review of the faculty member and, as such, constitutes an essential function of the job.

The designated faculty contract is based on the assumption that faculty are devoting 40 hours per week to work associated with the positions. A significant portion of these hours will be spent on campus providing instruction, availability to students, tutoring, academic coaching, and other activities that support academic instruction and student learning.

The part-time faculty contract and the Salary Schedule are based upon the assumption that part-time faculty are devoting time to being available to students and instructional related duties proportionate to the amount of time full-time faculty devote to those duties. Therefore, every credit hour of instruction represents 2.34 hours of service to the College being available to students/office hours and instructional activities including preparation and delivery based on a traditional 15-week instructional term; shorter term lengths will be adjusted accordingly.

Departmental responsibilities will be individually negotiated with each full-time faculty member. In addition, the full-time faculty member must attend and participate in all discipline-related meetings and/or College-related functions as identified by the chair/director. In the event a full-time faculty member is exclusively loaded for online courses in a given term, the chair must establish designated meeting times to be held on campus with the instructor.

Office hours/availability to students

The instructional loading commitment will not be counted as part of the ten (10) hours per week of the scheduled office time/availability to students requirement with the exception of those in specifically identified program areas with extensive individual student contact. Faculty are subject to the same office hour requirements regardless of the modality of the course. Office hours may be held in-person and/or virtually proportional to the modality of the course the instructor is teaching. Faculty members will establish regularly scheduled office hours to ensure that online students and onsite students have identical opportunities to interact with their instructors at established times. In-person office hours should be held in an approved College location and virtual hours may be held remotely with appropriate connectivity. This availability requirement applies during exam weeks as well. A specific schedule and location for office hours will be approved by the department chair at the beginning of each term and published in the instructor鈥檚 syllabus.

Faculty in the Biotechnology, Construction and Technical, Clinical Health, Emergency Medical Services and Zoo Sciences programs spend a minimum of 24 contact hours per week in classroom, clinical and/or laboratory settings. These faculty are available to students for at least 25 hours total weekly, with additional time for meeting with students as needed and determined by the program. Faculty in the high school program spend a minimum of 20 contact hours per week in classroom and/or laboratory settings.

These faculty are assigned five (5) office hours each week due to the large amount of time spent in contact with students. Faculty in all these program areas are still responsible for devoting a total of 40 hours per week to work associated with their faculty positions.

Each term, all full- and part-time faculty members must post, at their offices, a completed schedule card of assignments and office hours. For those part-time faculty members who are not assigned to a particular office site on campus, completed schedule cards of assignments outlining the days and times of telecommunications should be submitted to the department chair and noted on the syllabi.

Modified Teaching Loads

Based upon program needs, certain faculty, including but not limited to, the Information Technology Education, Clinical Health, Zoo Animal Technology and Construction and Technical programs may teach up to six (6) credit hours in the Summer Term of the academic year with payment for those additional hours at their individual contract credit hour rate. The modified teaching load must be approved by the appropriate member of ELT and noted on the faculty load sheet.

As an aid to faculty recruitment and retention, the summer term credit hours (up to 6) are compensated at their salary per credit hour rate for faculty in the Nursing program, and other areas as approved by the President, and may be disbursed on an annualized basis, consistent with the established 24 pay period payment schedule.

Maximum Teaching Loads

A full-time instructor who is requested by the College to teach in excess of the standard teaching load prescribed in his/her basic salary contract (30 semester credit hours) shall be compensated as prescribed in this section. Exceptions to these loading limitations must be authorized by the President or his/her designee and the Provost when necessary for the successful operation of the College.

1. One time per contract year, in the Fall Term or in the Spring Term, no more than two (2) additional course sections, up to 23 credit hours.
2. In the Summer Term, overload assignments per the need of their departments.

Instructors shall not be authorized to teach more than a total of 38 semester credit hours during the Fall and Spring Terms combined unless specifically approved by the Provost.

Semester credit hours taught in excess of the minimum term requirement are considered overloads and shall be compensated for at the rate of $846 per credit hour ($33.84 per clock/contact hour).

Faculty who fail to complete their full contract assignment in terms of days and/or credit hours will be paid at their daily rate of pay for the days worked under the basic salary contract. Any load exceeding 15 credit hours will be paid at the overload rate or if approved for the modified teaching load at that rate of pay should the instructor fail to complete their full contractual assignment.

A part-time instructor may be appointed for no more than 28.5 hours weekly, which is approximately twelve (12) instructional credit hours, or equivalent, per term. Terms are defined as Fall (September-December), Spring (January-April), and Summer (May-August).

Salary Statement

Full-Time Instructor

The minimum and maximum salaries for full-time instructors for 2025-2026 are based on salary rank as defined by title and specified at the end of the Contract Personnel (Faculty) section of the Salary Schedule.

Educational rank is generally determined by attainment of discipline-related degrees from accredited institutions. Initial educational rank is based on highest related degree at the time of hire. Changes in educational rank resulting from additional educational preparation will be made at the beginning of the next month following delivery to the Human Resources Official appropriate documentation of this achievement and submission of a revised Faculty Credential Verification form by the department chair/director. If changes in educational rank result in qualification for the annual education supplement, the supplement will be prorated for the balance of the contract year.

Salary rank is based on faculty title beginning with Assistant Professor at the time of hire and moving to Associate Professor after successful completion of the continuing contract process. Faculty move to the rank of Professor upon successful completion of seven years as an Associate Professor.

The President or his/her designee shall determine salary by assignment of appointees to the relevant salary range schedule adopted annually by the District Board. Placement on the salary table is to be determined by academic preparation, years of experience, and other pertinent factors.

Any request to move a faculty position from its current contract length to any other type of contract must be approved by the President or his/her designee and the annual salary will be revised based on the appropriate salary schedule.

Part-Time Instructor

Part-time instructional service will be paid at a rate of $846 per semester credit hour or $33.84 per clock/contact hour. The President or his/her designee may authorize a rate not to exceed $50.00 per clock/contact hour for instructional service which requires highly technical preparation in the technical and public service, trade and industry, business education, and health related areas. The President or his/her designee may establish a rate that is up to 20% higher than the semester credit hour and clock/contact hour rate for part-time faculty in the areas that qualify for a market adjustment. The rate for Information Technology Education Biotechnology, Central Sterile Processing Technology, Clinical Laboratory Science, Dental, Medical Imaging, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, Graphic Design and Digital Media programs is $1015. The authorized rate will be justified and documented in the personnel file. Annual salary increases are implemented with the first contract of the new academic year.

Part-time faculty who miss a class will be docked the prorated dollar amount equal to the amount that would have been earned for that time frame.

Substitute Instruction

Substitute instructors are to be paid at the following rates:

1. For credit-hour instruction $.77 per minute per class session unless noted below
   1. $.93 per minute per class session in programs that qualify for a market adjustment.
   2. Health-related clinical substitution will be paid at a rate commensurate with the duties associated with the clinical assignment and will be at least $40.60 per clock/contact hour. The President or his/her designee may authorize a rate not to exceed the equivalent hourly rate of pay for substitution in a program that qualifies for a market adjustment for selected clinicals requiring special license or credentials.
   3. Programs at the Institute of Public Safety that utilize a loading formula based on contacts hours will be paid a rate commensurate with the contact/clock hour rate.

2. For non-credit instruction: Vocational/Technical courses, $32.88 per contact/clock hour. The President or his/her designee may authorize a rate not to exceed $50.00 per clock/contact hour for selected vocational/technical courses requiring special license or credentials.

Payment Schedule

Instructional personnel shall be paid on a semi-monthly basis. Semi-monthly payrolls are paid on the 15th and the last day of each month, or, if the designated payday falls on a non-workday, on the first previous regular workday.

Payments for additional services performed by full-time instructional personnel will be made at the end of the payroll period in which such services are certified to the Payroll Office by the Human Resources Official provided such certification is received in time for inclusion in the payroll process. In most instances, payments to part-time instructional employees are to be made on a semi-monthly basis as follows:

• Part-time credit instructors are to be paid semi-monthly in equal increments over the term of their part-time contracts.
• Part-time non-credit instructors will be paid semi-monthly based upon the number of hours properly certified as taught.

Substitute instructors are to be paid at the end of the semi-monthly pay period following the time during which substitute service is provided, if time is not certified in time to be incorporated in the current payroll, payment will be made at the end of the following semi-monthly period.

Overloads

It is the intent of the District Board that members of the full-time instructional staff and qualified exempt staff may teach course loads in excess of the minimum contract requirement (30 semester credit hours for 9-month, and up to 42 for 12-month based on the terms and duties of their individual contract as documented on the loadsheet) to the extent such services are required by the College's instructional program.

The President or his/her designee shall ensure that teaching overloads are authorized only to the extent they are required by the educational program and that such authorizations do not operate to diminish the level of quality in teaching that is expected of all instructional personnel. Semester credit hours taught beyond the standard term requirement shall be compensated for at the rate of $846 per semester hour ($33.84 per clock/contact hour). The President or his/her designee may establish a rate that is up to 20% higher than the aforementioned semester credit hour and clock/contact hour rate for semester hours taught in excess of the minimum term requirement for faculty in the areas that qualify for a market adjustment. For Information Technology Education, Biotechnology, Central Sterile Processing Technology, Clinical Laboratory Science, Dental, Medical Imaging, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, Graphic Design and Digital Media programs the rate is $986.

Faculty and Academic Management Stipends and Supplements

Non-Instructional Duties Stipend

In addition to the reassigned time and compensation provided for College Senate leadership, the College will provide a limited number of non-instructional units for activities assigned to faculty to improve and enhance instructional programs. Each non-instructional unit (NIU) will be analogous to an instructional credit hour and thus assumes approximately 2.34 hours of work per week or 35 hours total during a 15-week academic term; shorter term lengths will be adjusted accordingly. The stipend value of one NIU is therefore equivalent to the adjunct credit hour rate. Approved documentation will be maintained in the employee鈥檚 personnel file in Human Resources.

Market Adjustment

Upon approval of the President or his/her designee, faculty and academic chairs in the Information Technology Education, Biotechnology, Central Sterile Processing Technology, Clinical Laboratory Science, Dental, Medical Imaging, Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, Graphic Design and Digital Media programs may receive a stipend of $9,200 for 9-month and $11,500 for 12-month. This annual stipend shall remain separate from the base salary and be paid semimonthly in equal increments during the contract period. Market adjustment is based on both credentialing and home department assignment of the faculty member or chair.

Educational Additive

Full-time faculty who have completed education from an accredited institution relative to the discipline area of instruction that exceeds the minimum educational qualification for a full-time instructor in their specific discipline and/or have a doctoral degree in a field relative to their discipline area of instruction as noted in the Faculty Credentialing Manual may receive an annual supplement of $2,493. Relative degree determination is based on credentialing per the Faculty Credentialing Manual, and approval by the Provost is required when a relative degree field is not specifically referenced in the manual.

Adjunct Course Cancellation

In cases where any credit course assignment is cancelled by the College within seven (7) calendar days of the intended commencement and no alternative course assignment is offered, the impacted adjunct faculty member will receive a one-time payment of $100, or prorated portion thereof if the course assignment had shared responsibilities, in recognition of the service provided in preparing to deliver instruction.

Online Instructor Training

Part-time faculty may receive $150 upon successful completion of the online instructor training course offered internally through the college. Full-time faculty who serve as the course facilitator may receive $1000 upon successful completion of online instructor training facilitation.

Professor Emeritus Part-time Program

Professor Emeritus Part-time Program recognizes the outstanding expertise of retired 麻豆传媒映画 faculty by establishing a rate of pay that exceeds the current base credit hour rate of pay for part-time faculty not to be confused with the market adjusted rate for part-time faculty in designated areas. Faculty and academic administrators who retire from 麻豆传媒映画 with 20 or more years of full-time service are eligible for this program and will be compensated at a rate 30% above the current base nonadjusted part-time faculty rate. All Emeritus faculty assignments are contingent upon the scheduling needs of individual programs and are subject to course enrollments meeting the threshold necessary to run the class sections.
