Course Load

Generally all Tenure-Track teaching loads will be 2-2, all full-time Scholarly Track 3-3. The department maintains a variety of mechanisms to reduce these numbers (administrative releases, pre-tenure agreements, buy-outs, etc.). Please respond to this form by keeping in mind those obligations as they pertain to the academic year.

Briefly state your understanding of your contractual arrangements (number of courses and any course releases) for teaching and administrative duties (4-2, 4-4, 3-3, etc.).
