X.    Summer School

Contact person: Greg Brown, Associate Dean

A.     Planning

Summer School income has become a major source of funds for a department's discretionary spending.   

     Each department may have its own policy on summer pay.   The only restriction is that the maximum an instructor may earn is 22.2 percent of the full-time academic year salary in return for six credit hours of courses (11.1 percent for three credit hours).  See Unireg 173  http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/legal/Uniregs/ur173rev4.htm

 

B.     Course Scheduling

The Registrar publishes a list of class sessions and daily starting times for summer classes. Please follow these guidelines. They are intended to reduce the class conflicts students may encounter. The anticipated result is the opportunity for students to enroll in more classes. Exceptions to these guidelines must be approved in advance by the College's associate dean.

C.     One Credit Per Week Per Course

The UW deans council has established a rule that any individual course may be offered only for one credit per week. For example, a three-credit course must be offered during no less than three weeks.

D.     Academic Affairs Summer Courses

Academic Affairs offers a program for innovative courses.  The specifics vary from year to year.  Watch for the announcements for the coming summer.
