Guidelines for Credit Modification

Policy on Credit Modification

Please be advised that the following policy on Credit Modification was approved by the JFC effective for the Fall 2023 semester in accordance with the Faculty Handbook:

Academic Year (Fall/Spring):
As of Fall 2023, all course credits will be modified as of the first day of class. Please note that the actual day/time of course enrollment will be recorded as of the day after the first day of class at 8:35 a.m. For example, if the class starts on September 5, 2023, the course enrollment will be recorded as of September 6, 2023 at 8:35 a.m. and the credits will be modified accordingly.

No additional modifications will be made to credits and/or pay after the first day of class, regardless of enrollment fluctuations +/- at the drop/add date.

Please note the following exceptions: 1) if after the drop/add date, the enrollment is at zero resulting in a class cancellation; and 2) research projects and independent studies will be modified as of the 6th week of the semester.

For any full-time faculty whose workload falls below the required minimum during the academic year, the faculty will work with their respective school dean to address any underage.

Intersessions (Summer/Winter/May):
Summer, Winter, and May intersessions will follow the same credit modification guidelines as outlined above.

Full-time Faculty Non-Standard Payments (FTNSP)

• Full-Time Faculty Overage
  • Academic Year (AY) overage applies when a full-time faculty member’s combined Fall and Spring workload exceeds the contractual credit load. Credits above the contractual load are considered overage credits and are compensated at the applicable AY per-credit overage rate, based on the faculty member’s full-time rank. For clinical faculty in the College of Health Professions, overage calculations include the combined workload for the Fall, Spring, Intersession, and Summer terms.
• Full-Time Faculty Summer and Intersession Rates
  • Summer/Intersession compensation for full-time faculty who teach during summer or intersession terms, which are separate from academic-year appointments. For these terms, the faculty member’s applicable workload is multiplied by the summer/intersession per-credit rate, based on the faculty member’s full-time rank.
