Section 4: Tenure-Track & Tenured Faculty Policies

4.7 Summer Session Appointments

Tenure track and tenured faculty holding regular full-time academic year appointments may teach up to eight credit hours during the summer semester. Faculty are paid extra compensation for summer semester teaching. The formula for summer teaching compensation is determined by the dean and the provost. Summer session compensation for instruction may not exceed 25% of the preceding academic-year salary. Summer employment is by invitation and contingent on instructional needs of the department and the university. Summer session classes will be cancelled unless they meet minimum enrollment standards established by the university. In accordance with university policy, any summer earnings for instruction in excess of the 25% limit will be recouped from future earnings.
