2.      Graduate school enrollment in excess of that authorized in section on “Graduate Enrollment” below; or

3.      Any combination of teaching/counseling/graduate work involving more than an equivalent of six (6) semester/contact hours.

Full-time faculty may enroll in a maximum of six (6) semester hours during a long-term semester (see section above for exceptions).

See Board of Trustees Policy DEA (LOCAL) for restrictions on number of credit hours acceptable in a given semester.

Work completed by faculty in classes (on or off campus) during normal work hours (outside the 30-hour workweek) will not be eligible for either academic or non-academic salary credit.
