4.6 ANNUALIZED LOAD

 

The annualized load permits the full-time (regular and probationary) instructor’s teaching assignment to include the time period of summer, fall, and spring of the school year as an alternative to the normal assignment which includes fall and spring assignment for a fulltime instructor in the given discipline. The sum of the hours for the annualized load will equal the sum of the hours for the normal fall and spring full-time assignment. The annualized load will be assigned with the approval of the instructor, responsible administrators, and the Vice President of Instruction.
