Category IV – Course Reassignment: Scholarly Activities
Forms
Eligibility:
- Individuals seeking course reassignment time to pursue scholarly activities related to an individual’s area of study. Please refer to Article 8 in the Collective Bargaining Agreement for clarification of what defines scholarly activity.
- Individuals with current reassignment time for non-scholarship related purposes (e.g., program coordinators, university committee work, etc.) are eligible for Category IV funding.
-
Faculty may alternate between Cat IV and Cat V awards in consecutive years, as long as there are enough course releases available. In the case of more applicants than releases, applicants who did not receive an award in the other category in a previous year will be given priority. Applicants are not eligible to receive consecutive awards in a single category.
Award Limits:
- Eighteen (18) course releases for scholarship purposes will be available for the next academic year.
- Note: In awarding the Category IV Course Reassignments, the Faculty Development Committee will strive to distribute the awards in an equitable and diverse manner across colleges, divisions, academic programs, faculty rank, and academic terms.
