The FLC for the various athletic coaching assignments were determined as a means of compensating for athletic activities having different lengths of season, different numbers of games played during a season, the number of students to be supervised, the requirements for faculty supervision, the nature of the sport, and the different requirements for student supervision during normally declared college vacation and semester break periods.

Although 30 FLC is considered a full-time assignment, 29 – 31 FLCs is acceptable as a full-year assignment with a three-year maximum of 91 FLCs.  For faculty members with a majority of their teaching load in laboratory assignments, 28-32 FLCs is acceptable as a full-year assignment with a three-year maximum of 92 FLCs.  Exceptions to these limitations can be made only upon mutual agreement of the faculty member and the District.

Members of the unit who are compensated according to the hourly academic salary schedule are paid by the hour, not by FLCs. 

 

Each course has a nominal load credit associated with it based on the typical number of contract hours for which it is scheduled.  No adjustment is made in the nominal load credit for routinely expected variations in the actual total contract hours per semester.  The typical range for one FLC is 16 to 19 contact hours per semester for lecture.  A corresponding range of contact hours for other types of classroom assignments is based on equivalence factors spelled out in this appendix.
