12 month faculty

50% teaching: usually 4 - 5 courses per year. For graduate clinical, one clinical group is equal to 10 students assigned to preceptors.
30% scholarship: teaching, research, or practice
20% service / funded practice

Teaching assignments may be altered based on workload considerations, for example:

1. 1. Submission of a grant
2. 2. Substantial grant or practice funding
3. 3. Special service, e.g., special university, community, or CON task force
4. 4. Cross campus course coordination or area coordinator
5. 5. Developing a new course
6. 6. Amount of scholarship, service, or funded practice
   
   Note: Approximate number of students in a master’s course is 30 and a doctoral course is 15 before assigning a GA for assistance, generating a new section, or assigning additional faculty to assist.

Professional service is important to the university and community. Faculty are asked to participate in service activities at about 20% of FTE. As rank progresses from assistant, associate, to full professor, the level of service changes; for example, one progresses from a task force within the College to higher level University service and from a committee member to committee chair.

The following are examples of service activities:
Committees within the CON or University
Professional service to community groups
Service to local, regional, national, international professional organizations
Holding a leadership position in a professional organization
