OFFICE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Unit Heads
FROM: Robert H. Maier (signed Robert H. Maier)
DATE: September 10, 1982

Faculty who are teaching fewer than 12 semester hours have a reduced
teaching assignment. Please be reminded that Appendix C (D., II., B.)
requires you to communicate in writing the purpose of any reduction.

I will need a copy of such a communication for the faculty members'
personnel files.

Undergraduate classes with fewer than 10 students and graduate classes

with fewer than 6 students are not permitted without approval from this
office. When approval for small classes has been received, these exceptions
do not accrue the full course credit hours toward a 12-hour load. Each
undergraduate student accounts for one-tenth of the course credit hours

and each graduate student one-sixth of the course credit hours until the
full course credit is accumulated. Exceptions to this formula include cer-
tain lab courses which have been approved by this office and student
teaching assignments.
