On-Campus Work Requirements for Non-Clock Hour Academic Faculty
Pursuant to NFC Board Policy 2.56, teaching faculty have assignments that require
37.5 or more hours of professional services to the College each week.
1 – All non-clock hour academic faculty shall be on campus a minimum of 25 hours per
week.
2 – A minimum of 10 hours must be designated as office hours, on campus and available
to students physically, as well as by phone and internet.
3 – 15 hours per week is the standard instructional load, and traditional face-to-face
and hybrid classes shall count toward the on-campus hour requirement.
4 – Faculty are expected to be on-campus for scheduled and announced meetings and
trainings in addition to office hours and standard instructional load.
5 – Faculty teaching online and hybrid classes shall schedule additional on-campus
hours to meet their 25 hour on-campus requirement. For example, a faculty member teaching a 3-credit hour online course and a 3 credit-hour
hybrid (1.5 hours F2F instruction) would need to designate 4.5 hours a week on-campus
toward their 25 hours of required on-campus time.
6 – Faculty teaching in excess of 15 credit hours need to schedule an additional 2/3
office hour for every 1 credit hour of overload, but these office hours may be performed
off campus. Faculty must be available to students by internet and/or phone during
this time.
