Article 13 – Non-Credit Instruction
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.
13.7 This article does not apply to non-credit courses where the District receives apportionment at the standard for-credit rate.
