  • What if I obtained a course authorization code, but forget to enroll in the course online?

    Course authorization codes can only be used during the add/drop period. After this period, authorization codes will become invalid and will not be reissued for any reason.

  • When the instructor applies for teaching hour reduction, is there a restriction on the total number of teaching hours?

    According to Paragraph 3 of Article 3 of the "Teaching Hours Guidelines": Full-time instructors who have taken on reduced teaching hours are still required to teach at least 2 hours each semester and at least 9 hours per academic year. Those who have taken on reduced teaching hours for administrative duties are still required to teach at least 3 hours per academic year. The statement "still required to teach at least 9 hours per academic year" does not include time served as an adviser, tutor or service-learning courses.

  • If a student under thesis supervision takes a leave of absence for the current semester, can the instructor still log the number of hours spent on that particular student for the current semester?

    If the student applied for taking a leave of absence before the course addition/cancellation period of the current semester, the instructor may not redeem the hours with respect to that student; if the student applied for taking a leave of absence after the course addition/cancellation period, it does not affect the original number of hours which can be redeemed by the instructor.

  • Can supervision hours provided to a student from another department be redeemed?

    Yes, the hours can be redeemed.

  • Can thesis supervision for continuing education students be counted as teaching hours?

    Teaching hours for continuing education classes cannot be included as a part of the instructor's basic teaching hours; therefore thesis supervision for continuing education students cannot be calculated as teaching hours.

  • If an instructor has taken a leave of absence in the previous semester, how are teaching hours for the next semester calculated?

    According to Paragraph 2 of Article 3 of the "Teaching Hours Guidelines": Instructors may reduce their average teaching hours by up to four hours in one semester and make up to the yearly average in the following semester, provided that such arrangements do not affect the teaching of the curriculum. Instructors who have taken reduced teaching hours must still teach an average of at least two credits (hours) each semester.
