Work Week Responsibilities

Full-time faculty are responsible for the assigned teaching hours, office hours, time for student advisement, professional development, program development, and committee work, as assigned. Assigned teaching hours for a distance learning course require on-campus hours equivalent to the course hours in a traditional setting. These hours should be evenly distributed throughout the work week. Any exceptions require the approval of the appropriate dean. Each semester before the end of the first week of classes, each faculty must post his/her schedule outside their office door. (See BRCC Policies and Procedures 3.6.1.).

Full-time faculty members are expected to maintain a minimum of one (1) office hour per day. Any exception require the approval of the appropriate faculty chair or dean. On designated faculty work days, full-time faculty members are required to be present on campus or at job-related activity approved by the dean, and follow the administrative operating hours in effect for that day. Each full-time faculty member is required to participate in the College’s general graduation exercises.

Adjunct faculty (part-time instructors) are responsible for the hours or fixed term for which they are contracted and assigned. Instructors being compensated on a per-hour basis who miss classes due to emergency closings of the College and do not make up actual time will have their compensation adjusted accordingly. Adjunct faculty are only expected to be on campus during the times their classes meet; however, adjuncts are expected to respond to students outside of class hours through email, calls, or distance learning chats.
