Article 13 - Non-Credit Instruction

13.1 NON-CREDIT LIMIT:

Total District non-credit FTES shall not be greater than 1% of District credit FTES. Community service is not part of the 1%.

13.2 NON-CREDIT INSTRUCTION LIMITS FOR FULL-TIME:

No full-time assignments shall include non-credit instruction, unless a RIF would follow due to a state mandate of credit classes being designated as non-credit classes. In such case an assignment of twenty-five in-class hours shall be considered a full instructional load. All contract I, II, or III or regular unit members teaching non-credit classes as part or all of teaching load shall be subject to all conditions of this Agreement as if the member were teaching credit classes.

13.3 EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL:

All assignments except for those in Section 13.2 above are extra-contractual (not part of regular "A load"), and the employees are members of the bargaining unit.

13.4 SALARY RATE FOR NON-CREDIT CLASSES:

The hourly rate for non-credit classes shall be determined by Appendix B-2, Class I, Step 1.

13.5 APPROVAL OF NON-CREDIT CLASSES:

All non-credit courses shall be approved through the normal instructional committees on campus. All non-credit instructors shall be hired as specified in Article 6.

13.6 NON-CREDIT CLASS SIZE MAXIMUMS:

All non-credit class size maximums shall be established through the same procedure as for new credit courses.
