Effective the Summer of 2012, the following compensation plans will be used to pay faculty for teaching credit courses.

Traditional Credit Courses
A) Three-credit courses with enrollments of at least sixteen (16) (twelve (12) for W courses) shall be compensated at the rate of 8.5% of the faculty members' normal academic year salary up to a maximum (the cap) of 8.5% of the university-wide full professor average salary as of February 2009. Compensation for credit bearing courses above three credits shall be pro-rated appropriately.

B) Three-credit courses with enrollments below sixteen (16) (twelve (12) for W courses) but above six (6) shall be compensated using a sliding scale formula as follows: faculty will be paid a base salary of $1,520 per credit for 6 students. $179.80 per credit ($215.75 per credit for W courses) will be added to this base for each additional student up to a maximum of 8.5% of the faculty member's normal academic year salary or 16 students (12 for W courses) whichever comes first.

The maximum salary cap for faculty who hold academic appointments during the regular academic year and teach credit bearing courses during the 2012 summer session is $11,224.35 for a 3-credit course.  This is in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement on Summer Session and Intersession Compensation.
