Target loads are established by the needs of the academic program. At the time of hire, the dean in consultation with the program director, establishes the target load, and remuneration will be based on this number. The number of semester hours for which a faculty member will be loaded is expected to remain the same from year to year. This may be adjusted because of institutional needs. All overload hours which exceed the target load will be paid at the overload rate.
If a faculty member reduces their target load for personal reasons this becomes their preferred load. If they are teaching over their preferred load it will be at the full pay rate (up to the original set target). The dean’s approval is required if the faculty member requests a change to the target load. All overload hours which exceed the target load will be paid at the overload rate.
Target loads are recorded in offer letters and faculty information in J1.
