               <li style="text-indent:1em;">Faculty teaching effort is calculated each semester. </li>
               <li style="text-indent:1em;">Example: 0.2 FTE = 120 clock hours per semester
               <li style="text-indent:1em;">Faculty in the CON may negotiate a reduction in teaching work assignment beyond what has been allocated within the faculty preferences and role differentiation recommendations. Final determination of teaching assignment is at the discretion of the supervisor and is based on scholarly activities such as demands of a program of scholarship (grant proposal development--research, practice & teaching grants), manuscript preparation, work requirements for special teaching projects, planned reimbursed practice, pilot projects and service projects. This is typically highly individualized, so an exact recommendation is not practical; FTE reductions for scholarship would be based on FTE determination.</li>
                    <ul>
               <li style="text-indent:1em;">Funding for scholarship and practice activities are subtracted from a 100% teaching assignment.  For example, a faculty member funded for one day of practice each week is allocated 20% effort for that practice.  A faculty member funded for 20% time on a grant is allocated 20% effort for the grant.  Additional effort for scholarship and practice may be possible, depending on the nature of the need and available faculty resources.</li>
                        <li>0.025 FTE = 15 clock hours per semester</li>
               <li style="text-indent:1em;">All faculty engaged in service are also allotted FTE for service, with 20% typically the maximum allotment.</li>
                    </ul>
              </li>
               <li style="text-indent:1em;">Faculty teaching effort is based on a 15- week semester.</li>
               <li style="text-indent:1em;">Faculty can renegotiate FTE distribution based on new developments.</li>
               <li style="text-indent:1em;">Scholarship (in teaching, research, professional service) and teaching activities are all considered in total FTE.</li>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">FTE for classroom teaching</span></p>
====3.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FTE for classroom teaching====
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">A classroom course is allotted .067 FTE per credit. Therefore, a three credit course is assigned 20% effort.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">A classroom course is allotted 0.067 FTE per credit. Therefore, a 3- credit course is assigned as 0.20 FTE or 20% effort.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">If faculty team teaches a course, the FTE increments and work units will be divided by the number of faculty in the course.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Total FTE allocated for a course will be divided among faculty based on percentage of course taught by each faculty.</p>
 
====3.1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additional FTE may be assigned based on the following factors:====
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Faculty may receive additional work units based on the following factors:</span></p>
<ol style="max-width:70em !important;">
<ol style="max-width:70em !important;">
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Class size &mdash; for each section over 36 students, faculty may receive up to .05 FTE.</li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Class size — for each additional section over 50 students, the course may receive up to 0.05 FTE per additional section. This is added to the course effort FTE and divided among all faculty teaching the course.</li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Course coordinator role for a course with multiple sections and multiple instructors, add .10 FTE.</li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Course coordinator role receives 0.05 FTE per course.</li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Semester coordinator role, add up to .05 FTE.</li>
    <li style="text-indent:1em;">Cross campus coordinator role may be one of the following and receives 0.025 FTE
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Committee Chair for PhD or DNP students: FTE = .025 per student per semester for up to four semesters or .10 or 10%; graduation semester = .10 FTE or 10%. </li>
    <ol type="a" style="max-width:70em !important;">
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Committee member for PhD/DNP students: FTE = .025 per student the semester they graduate.</li>
          <li>Courses taught across multiple campuses for example, accelerated,
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Teaching a course for the first time or development of a new course may receive additional FTE.</li>
pathopharmacology.</li>
          <li>Coordinating course consistency (syllabus, exams, call meetings etc) for courses
taught locally on individual campuses.</li>
    </ol>
    </li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Semester coordinator role receives.025 FTE.</li>
    <li style="text-indent:1em;">Teaching a course for the first time or development of a new course may receive additional .05 FTE. Mentoring of new faculty in the coordinator role may receive .025 FTE.</li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Committee chair for PhD = 0.025 FTE per semester and final semester FTE = 0.05.</li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Service as a dissertation committee member or chair on dissertations outside the CON will count toward service.</li>
    <li style="text-indent:1em;">DNP project advisor = 0.025 FTE per project group per semester.</li>
     <li style="text-indent:1em;">Committee members for PhD count as service.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Participation in formal faculty mentoring programs may receive additional FTE.  Informal faculty mentoring is considered part of service.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Student advising is considered part of a faculty member’s service. Similarly, independent study courses are considered part of service because such courses do not meet the minimum class sizes for regular courses and are highly variable depending upon negotiated agreements between faculty and students. Faculty effort allocation may be negotiated if an independent study course results from providing a course needed by a small number of students to meet program requirements.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Other types of student advising are considered part of a faculty member’s service. Similarly, independent study courses are considered part of service because such courses do not meet the minimum class sizes for regular courses and are highly variable depending upon negotiated agreements between faculty and students. Faculty effort allocation may be negotiated if an independent study course results from providing a course needed by a small number of students to meet program requirements.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Examples of calculating faculty effort for different types of courses are presented on the attached grid.</p>
