Distance Learning Load Procedures
Full load is awarded for 12 students in an online class. Course limits are 21 in English 1301 and 1302 and 25 in the remainder of the courses. For online courses, sections of the same course that don’t reach the limit as stated above will be combined for load or taught at a prorated basis.
Faculty members assigned to teach a course that has fewer than 12 students may teach the course on a prorated basis or combine it with another class for load. Faculty teaching online courses exceeding the maximum number of students set for the course will be paid a supplemental duties rate of $100 per student for each added enrollment up to a maximum enrollment of 32 students. The supplemental duties rate of $100 is set for 3-semester credit hour or higher courses.
Full load is awarded when a course reaches 12 students from all sites in an interactive video course. Total course enrollments are limited to 55 students (except nursing, 90 students). Once a course reaches the following number of enrollees from all sites, a supplemental duties payment of $50 per student is earned: English 1301-25 students; English 1302-25 students; and other courses - 32 students. The supplemental duties payments are limited to $600. For each remote site, instructors earn a $100 stipend. In order to protect the integrity of the courses, facilitators are required at each remote site.
