Additional University Payments to Faculty


Additional University payments to faculty for special academic duties during the contract year are permitted as stated below. Faculty members who are given especially time-consuming or burdensome assignments within the University generally will be given relief from other duties rather than extra compensation.

  1. Faculty members on fiscal year contracts may earn extra compensation for overload teaching in Continuing Education during the academic year only. They may be called upon to teach in regular summer session or in Continuing Education courses during the summer session but will not be paid extra for these duties.

    Faculty members on academic year contracts may earn extra compensation for teaching in Continuing Education during the summer session and during each semester of the regular academic year, if the latter activity is certified by the dean as an overload. (Rev., Provost's Office, 11/93)

  2. University compensation beyond the terms of the basic contract will not exceed the equivalent of twelve credit hours of Continuing Education credit activity from September 1 until spring commencement. (Rev., Provost's Office, 11/93)

  3. Faculty Compensation from Sponsored Research

    Faculty members are not permitted to earn additional salary from research participation during the period from September 1 until spring commencement. Faculty members engaging in sponsored research during these months have their teaching and general University responsibilities reduced to accommodate their research participation.

  4. Limits on Summer Compensation

    Faculty members on academic year contracts may receive additional compensation for three months of summer work on sponsored research or summer teaching at a monthly rate not to exceed one-ninth of the base salary. The total compensation from all sources may not exceed three- ninths of the basic academic year salary for the summer months. Correspondingly, faculty on fiscal year contracts may receive additional compensation for one month of summer work on sponsored research at a rate not to exceed one-eleventh of the fiscal year salary. Eligibility for three-ninths for academic year faculty and one-eleventh for fiscal year faculty is allowable only under the condition that faculty members have not taken or do not plan to take any vacation except for legal holidays during the period September 1 to August 31 of the academic year or July 1 to June 30 of the fiscal year.

  5. Faculty may receive additional compensation for teaching in Winter Session. Compensation may not exceed payment for two courses or its equivalent plus $360 for individual study. Faculty members may not receive additional payments for research during Winter Session.
    (Rev. 1990 - Office of the Provost)

  6. No faculty member may be employed to consult on a research grant or contract of another faculty member for which the University is the disbursing agent.

    No member of the faculty shall accept payment for tutoring any student in his or her own classes or in a course in the same department. Students for whom tutoring is desired should be referred to the Tutoring Service Coordinator who maintains a list of able undergraduate and graduate tutors. Only in unusual circumstances and with the consent of the dean of the college should full-time, regular faculty undertake to tutor undergraduate students for pay.
