Summer school teaching

Faculty on nine-month appointments may teach in one or both of the UNCW summer sessions and earn additional income. Assignment is not automatic but is based upon such factors as the scope of the departmental summer course offerings, size of budget allocated to the department by the Summer Session administration for faculty salaries, and potential enrollment in courses to be offered. The method for assigning courses taught by a faculty member varies from department to department.

A written contract stipulating the course(s) to be taught and the rate of compensation is binding upon both the appointed faculty member and the Summer Session administration. Faculty members on nine-month appointments may teach summer school or accept other employment outside UNCW without restriction (see External professional activities for pay). Persons on twelve-month appointments are not eligible for summer school pay in addition to their regular salaries.

Rates of compensation are provided annually by the summer school office. Pay is based on a percentage of the instructor's nine-month salary, although with a set minimum and maximum salary.
