Category IV – Course Reassignment: Scholarly Activities
Forms
Model Proposals (Category 4)
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.
- Note: Individuals with current reassignment time for non-scholarship related
purposes (e.g., program coordinators, university committee work, etc.) are
eligible for Category IV funding. Those not eligible for
Category IV funding include:
- a) Faculty receiving scholarship reassignment time directly from a Dean’s
office for a portion of the academic year in which Category IV funding
is sought.
- b) New tenure-track faculty hires receiving reassignment time for scholarship
purposes during the academic year in which Category IV funding is sought.
- c) Faculty who have received a Category IV Course Reassignment award
during the previous academic year.
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.
