Welfare Note #24
Another offering in a series of "Welfare Notes" that has been created by the Welfare Committee which are intended to ensure that all members of the Faculty Association are educated, informed, or updated in terms of welfare-related concerns and their rights contained within the Contractual Agreement.
Faculty Load Calculation
Calculating your load can be a complicated and intimidating process. However, it is good practice to frequently check the math in order to ensure that your load is correct. Below are some frequently asked questions about load calculation.
- I have specific questions about my base load. How do I know what is being calculated since
we don't receive paper assignments in the mail anymore?
Faculty Work Load Reports (FWLR) are submitted each term to Human Resources by your administrators. Ask your Associate Dean for a copy of your FWLR to see how your base load is being calculated.
- Where can I check online for my load information?
- Login to myACCESS
- Click on myACCESS for Faculty
- Click on My Stipends to view any overload assignments that you have earned at the College of DuPage. Information about your base load is not available in myACCESS.
- Contact Claire Benz, Senior Compensation Specialist at x2648, if you have questions about your assignment as shown in myACCESS.
- I am a coordinator. Can some of my coordination hours be assigned as overload?
All coordination hours are based on a fifteen hour load (D 7.5). These hours must be considered part of the teaching load and cannot be assigned as overload. - My teaching workload is composed of courses based on different contact hours per semester.
Who besides my Associate Dean can explain how my load is being calculated?
The Chair of Welfare will direct you to the appropriate Welfare member to help you understand your load calculation. - I am receiving reassigned time for my position with the C.O.D. Faculty Association. How
does that affect my load calculation?
Any C.O.D. Faculty Association reassigned time must be part of the base load calculations (See Sect A4. 5, p. 8)
As always, first, read the section (D 7. Workload of Faculty Members, p. 22-37) in the Contractual Agreement between the Board and the Association! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact any member of the Welfare Committee.
