Faculty Handbook
The purpose of this policy is to describe guidelines for full-time faculty teaching an overload and for off-campus teaching compensation. An overload is defined as teaching more courses than required under the workload policy for faculty.
The faculty and administration of the University of Houston-Clear Lake adhere to the following guidelines to ensure delivery of the highest quality instruction. This policy does not describe compensation for teaching involving distance learning.
2.1 Responsibility for Administration of Policy
The deans of the schools, in collaboration with their respective associate deans, are responsible for implementing procedures to ensure adherence to these guidelines. The deans may deviate from the recommended compensation guidelines when agreed to by the faculty involved.
2.2 Overload Compensation
The recommended compensation for teaching overloads on either a contractual or noncontractual basis is 1/8 of the full-time faculty member's 9-month salary per three credit hour plus any stipend for off-campus instruction.
2.3 Off-Campus Instruction Stipend
The stipend for off-campus instruction is applicable when the faculty member teaches each class of a three credit hour course at an off-campus location. The stipend is the following:
05-19 miles round trip $250
20-39 miles round trip $500
40-59 miles round trip$750
60-100 miles round trip $1000
Distances beyond 100 miles round trip would be dealt with on an individual basis. Faculty who do not teach each class of a three credit hour course at an off-campus location should receive a pro-rata share of the stipend. Faculty who teach classes that don't meet regularly at the same location, such as practice, off-site internships, field based courses, etc., should receive compensation on a mileage basis or as otherwise agreed.
