Faculty Load Update

Faculty Load is the total load being carried by a faculty member. The load value is calculated based on the following formula:

Course Hours x Course Weight x Number of Students Enrolled, plus any thesis or dissertation activity where the Faculty is assigned as a Committee Member with a Weight greater than zero.

• Course Hours  This value comes from the Course Credit hours in the Transcript Maintenance.
• Course Weight  This value is pulled from the Faculty Schedule in Offering Maintenance.
• Number of Students Enrolled  Student Count for the course. This count will only include students that have a blank or ‘-‘ grade. This means that when calculating the faculty load all students who do not have a grade for a class will be counted towards the faculty load. To ensure that the faculty load is calculated correctly for the current term only, all grades from previous terms need to be entered.

It remains as a workload contributor until either 1) the course completion date passes, or 2) the student receives a grade.
