Workload and Release Time

Workload
 
Faculty workload rules are determined by agreement between the Professional Staff Congress and CUNY Central.  Faculty may access detailed information about workload agreements in the PSC Contract. Faculty are responsible for accurately recording and reporting their workload each semester. Below are resources designed to assist faculty in reporting and determining allowable workload.
Multiple Position Requests | Forms

For full-time faculty, any hours over the 24 classroom contact hours in an academic year require a request for a Multiple Position.  Below are the Multiple Position Request Forms as well as the Multiple Position Reporting Form.  Both forms should be submitted to Mariela Roman in OAA.
  1. If you have a multiple position assignment within Hostos Community College or within CUNY, both, the Multiple Position Report Form AND the Multiple Position Request Form must be submitted by the department chairperson to the Office of the Vice President and Provost for Academic Affairs
  2. If your multiple position assignment is outside of CUNY, only the Multiple Position Report Form is required and must be submitted by the department chairperson to the Office of the Vice President and Provost for Academic Affairs
Release Time

Full-time faculty members have a teaching load of 24 hours in an academic year.  Release time allows faculty to dedicate a portion of time to administrative or research and scholarship activities. Release time must be approved by department chairpersons and the provost.  Faculty who intend to use release time must indicate their intent via the Release Time Request Form.

Any forms submitted for grant funded released time must include an award letter indicating the source of funds. 
Check with your department chair for submission date deadlines.

Release Time Request Forms should be submitted to Mariela Roman.
