Faculty Handbook – August 2022 31 NSU has developed a 3-week EAB Survey, which basically allows faculty to indicate if a student is attending/participating or not. Faculty are encouraged to do this for all level of students. ONLINE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION Members of the regular faculty or adjunct faculty and staff may offer regular catalog courses through an online modality, or continuing education classes on the NSU campus, at off-campus sites, and through online delivery. The decision to offer an online or continuing education course is made by the appropriate Department Chair and Dean. The Office of Online and Continuing Education and academic Dean shall be consulted before a faculty member develops, announces or teaches any online, continuing education, or non-traditional course. The Office of Online and Continuing Education is responsible for collecting and processing registrations and payments for online, continuing education, and non-traditional courses, but will also provide logistical and marketing support if requested by the faculty member. Chairs may assign faculty members online courses as part of their normal teaching load or in addition to their regular course load with additional remuneration possible according to BOR policy, as determined by the department chair/dean. CONFERENCES, CLINICS, WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS, AND SPECIAL EVENTS When a staff member, committee, or organization wishes to sponsor a special event at the university, all arrangements must be coordinated with the applicable facility coordinator. When planning such events, effort shall be made to schedule them on days or hours that will not interfere with classes at the university. Contact the facilities management office for temporary parking permits and parking arrangements. SCHEDULING OF CLASSROOMS AND OFFICES The Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, in cooperation with the academic Deans, makes academic assignments for classrooms for regularly scheduled instruction and for workshops, and assigns faculty offices. Building schedulers coordinate all other events for their respective buildings. Scheduling for computer labs and distance delivery studios is coordinated through Technology Services. OFFICE HOURS During the academic year, administrative office hours are maintained from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Summer office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Each faculty member is expected to post and maintain regular on-campus, in person office hours and shall announce to students during the first week of the term the office hours schedule and location of the office. The schedule shall be posted in the course syllabus, in the LMS, and on, or adjacent to, the faculty member’s office door, so as to be easily accessible by students. Faculty members are expected to maintain a minimum of six office hours extended over at least four days of the week (effective January 11, 2012).
