45-48 36-48 credits.
35.1.1 Social
Science: Fifteen (15) credit hours, or 450 weekly
student contact hours at the beginning of the third
week for large lecture classes with a maximum of
three (3) preparations. Four (4) different course
preparations is a full workload.
35.1.2 Health Occupations:
Twenty-two (22) weekly contact hours in a laboratory
situation. Number of students determined by number of
lab stations or by program requirements.

35.1.5 The parties agree that
45-48 36-48 credit hours as
used in Article 35 - WORKLOAD, Section 35.1, is
intended to provide flexibility for assignments with
four credit hour courses. For example, four classes
for four credit hours each for three terms would equal
48 credit hours per year. It is not intended to
require instructors to teach 16 three-credit sections
per year.

The Association may submit an individual, individuals or
department workload to interest arbitration if in the
judgment of the Association such workload equivalencies
are excessive when compared to the standards outlined in
Section 35.1 above.
35.3 Voluntary Nature of
Non-Teaching Work. The workload of contracted
teaching faculty is intended to include an amount of
non-teaching work. The choice of specific non-teaching
faculty work shall be the decision of the faculty member
and can be made without prejudice, subject to the ability
of the college to accomplish non-teaching work as
specified by this Agreement, properly executed Memoranda
of Agreements, certified workgroup charters, and
workgroup consensus decisions.
35.4 Non-Teaching
Work. Non-teaching workload consists of
activities beyond directed student contact time and
immediate class work, which includes preparation,
grading, office hours, and examining student work.
35.4.1 Non-teaching
workload shall apply to contracted faculty only, and
shall amount to up to 15% of the faculty member's
staff FTE, averaged over the academic year, provided
it can be accomplished within a work schedule based on
1FTE = 40 hours/week. If such activities cannot be
accommodated within this schedule, the particular
workload may be raised to the Workload Advisory
Committee.
35.4.2 In this Article,
non-teaching work is work that is not otherwise
compensated and is focused on furthering the college
mission and goals at a program, division, or
college-wide level. This non-teaching work includes
such things as long-term curriculum planning,

activities; serving on hiring committees;
participation in peer evaluation and peer mentoring
processes; building collegiality; and work in the
