The full-time faculty obligation is 28 hours by contract. 

After the first week of the term, once all full-term course adds and cancellations are finalized, the Instruction Office will calculate a flex obligation for every full-term class taught by adjunct or overload faculty and add those values to the online flex system. 

The resulting requirement is about half of an instructor鈥檚 weekly assignment.  So a three-unit lecture class results in a 1.5-hour flex requirement.  The formula used is:  鈥�(Section Total Clock Hours) x (0.4) 梅 (16.4), rounded to the nearest half-hour.鈥� 

Example:  A 3-unit lecture class is paid as 54 Clock Hours. So the flex obligation, if taught by an part-time faculty or as overload, is...

54 x 0.4 梅 16.4 = 1.317, which rounds up to 1.5 hours

Two criteria are used: 

• First, the proposal must directly align with one of the activities the college has sent to the state as part of its annual Calendar Plan. 
  
  
• Second, faculty members鈥� workload consists of both accountable time and professional time (see YFA Contract, Article 4).  Because flex hours are part of the accountable time, they should not be awarded for activities that are already within the professional obligation of the faculty member.

 These duties vary by faculty role.  However, an activity鈥檚 鈥渇lex-worthiness鈥� may also relate to the scale of the activity.  For example, reviewing and updating a course outline is a normal part of an instructor鈥檚 professional duties, and is not flex-worthy.  However, a department-wide get-together to systematically review and update all of the courses in the department would be flex-worthy.  When submitting a proposal, be sure to describe how it goes above and beyond normal, everyday faculty professional duties and leads to instructional and institutional improvement.
