SUMMER FACULTY PAY FORMULAS
Calculations for Summer Faculty pay when student enrollment levels are considered to be a full class:
Graduate Enrollment Level = 5 Upper Class = 10 Lower Class = 15
8 week session: June & July
Base salary divided by 9 x (credit hour %) for each credit hour class x 2.
1 credit hour = .111
2 credit hours = .222
3 credit hours = .333
6 credit hours = .667
9 credit hours = 1.0 fte
Example:
If a faculty member had a base salary of $50,000, and was teaching 8 credit hours for an 8 week session: formula application would be:
$50,000/9 = $5555. X .667 = $3,705 X 2 (June & July) = $7,411.
4 week session only
Base salary divided by 9 x (credit hour %) for each credit hour class.
3 credit hours = .666
6 credit hours = 1.33
9 credit hours = 2.00
Example:
If a faculty member had a base salary of $50,000, and was teaching 6 credit hours for a 4 week session: formula application would be:
$50,000/9 = $5555. X 1.33 = $7,389.
Any class taught over 9 hour credits would be paid at adjunct rate.
Calculations for Summer Faculty pay when student enrollment levels are not considered to be a full class:
If student enrollment does not meet the level to be a full class, but the Department Head in conjunction with the Dean decides that the class should be taught – a faculty member may agree to teach the class at a tuition only rate. The tuition only rate is the cost per student per credit hour minus 20% fringe benefit cost.
The amount of pay for tuition only cannot exceed the normal rate of summer pay.
