Section: Academic Affairs
Subject: Advising Load
Effective Date: January 6, 1997
Revision Date:
Index: 1400:30:02

SCOPE

This procedure pertains to all benefitted faculty contracted to work half-time or more.

RESPONSIBILITY

The Vice President for Academic Affairs, with the cooperation of the Division Chairs and the Registrar, is responsible for maintaining compliance with this procedure.

PROCEDURE

Each full-time faculty member is required to serve as advisor to no fewer than twelve (12) students per academic semester. Benefitted faculty working on less than full-time contract will be required to advise the same proportion as their contract (a faculty on half-time contract is expected to advise six (6) students; a faculty on three-quarter contract is expected to advise nine (9) students; etc.). Each additional twelve (12) advisees assigned to a full-time instructor each semester will qualify the affected faculty member for workload adjustment in one of the following ways:

  1. reducing the teaching load requirement by one contact hour;
  2. reducing the committee assignments of the affected instructor;

If a faculty member teaches a full-load as required under procedure 1400:30:01, actively participates on assigned committees and has more than the minimum number of required advisees, the faculty member will be entitled to overload payment for the additional advisees.

Benefitted faculty members who have fewer than the required number of advisees assigned to them will be required to adjust their workloads in one of the following ways to compensate for the shortage in assigned advisees:

  1. working the appropriate number of hours at a central location intended to provide advising services to students not yet assigned to an advisor;
  2. working the appropriate number of hours during summer registrations as part of the regular contract;
  3. increasing the teaching load as described in procedure 1400:30:01;
  4. actively participating in additional college committees as assigned by the vice president or division chair; or
  5. accepting additional non-teaching duties as assigned by the vice president or division chair.
