GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR READING
FACULTY ASSIGNMENT BY DEPARTMENT (FAD)
This Glossary is intended to be a quick reference guide to acquaint
FAD users with certain basic course and faculty terms. In cases that words
have several valid definitions, the definition most applicable to the FAD
is presented.
Faculty
-
Faculty ID = The faculty member's Social Security
Number
-
Name = The faculty member's name
-
ADM-LEV (Administrative Level) = A code
that denotes administrative duties (e.g. 2 = 12 month appointment as Dept.
Chair). Faculty with ADM-LVL must have IAF.
-
TTF (Team Teaching Fraction) = The percentage
of contact hours credited to each faculty member teaching a class in a
team-teaching group (e.g. one faculty teaching a class would be 1.00;
a faculty member with one-half responsibility would be .50 etc.). The
sum of all fractions must total 1.000.
-
Range Code = The position classification for a
faculty member. The first position classification within a range is printed
on the FAD (e.g. within the range for Associate Professor, Coach, Senior
Vocational Instructor and Lecture 'C', only ASSOPF is printed). See "Explanation
of Range Codes" on
Brief
Definitions.
-
SPLIT APPT (Split Appointment) = Faculty
teaching in more than one department. The College and Department code
following the text refers to the alternate department in which the faculty
member taught. Although the faculty member's teaching schedule is printed
in both departments, the SCU, FCH, I-WTU, and T-WTU appear only in the
department of appointment. This report does not accurately reflect Department
and College totals (except Number Assignments and FTEF). The SCU are credited
to the department associated with the course subject area. See the "Course
Prefix Report - Dept" in ODIN for correct SCU totals.
Faculty Appointment Funding
-
IFF (Instructional Faculty Fraction) = State
instructional funds to support a portion (expressed as a percentage) of
a faculty member's appointment for instructional activities (e.g. teaching).
The College submits AP Form 107-B. Note: Because IFF is calculated
by subtracting IAF and OSF from TSF, it is possible to have IFF and not
teach.
- IAF (Instructional Administrative Fraction) = State instructional
funds to support a portion (expressed as a percentage) of a faculty member's
appointment for administrative duties (e.g. Dept. Chair). Faculty with IAF
must have ADM-LVL greater than 0. The College submits AP107-A form.
- OSF (Other Support Fraction) = State non-instructional funds (e.g.
teaching) and non-state reimbursed funds (e.g. grant) to support a portion
of a faculty member's appointment. The College submits AP107-C form.
- TSF (Total Support Fraction) = The sum of IFF+IAF+OSF. Full-time
faculty appointments have 1.000 TSF, half-time faculty appointments have
.500 etc.
Faculty Workload Credit
- WTU (Weighted Teaching Units) = The amount of workload credit earned
by a faculty member for teaching ("K- Factor" x A-CCU = WTU). For
supervision classes, S25 earns 0.48 WTU per student enrolled and S36 earns
0.33 WTU per student enrolled.
- D-WTU (Direct Weighted Teaching Units) = The amount of workload credit
earned by a faculty member for teaching as well as Assigned Time Codes 11,
15, 16, 17, and 18. View teaching WTU on 1F5 screen (Faculty Teaching Schedule)
in SIS+. The College submits AP107-B.form for Assigned Time.
- I-WTU (Indirect Weighted Teaching Units) = The amount of workload
credit earned by a faculty member for Assigned Time Codes other than 11, 15,
16, 17 and 18. The College submits AP107-B form.
- T-WTU (Total Weighted Teaching Units) = The sum of D-WTU and I-WTU.
- Assigned Time = Activities for which a faculty member receives workload
credit. The two types of Assigned Time credit are D-WTU and I-WTU. Up to three
Assigned Time activities can be assigned for a faculty member, totaling no
more than 12.0 Assign Time WTU. The College submits AP107-B form.
View IAF, OSF, Assigned Time D-WTU, I-WTU and Work FTE on the 1F4 screen in
SIS+. View the faculty member's workload on the 1F3 screen in SIS+.
Course Instruction
- SUBJ (Course Subject) = The alpha identifier (up to 4 characters)
of the subject area for a course section (e.g. ENGL 0250-01). Used in conjunction
with the Course Number and Course Suffix.
- COUR (Course Number) = The 4-digit identifier for a course section
(e.g. ENGL 0250-01). Used in conjunction with the Course Subject and Course
Suffix.
- SEC (Course Section Number) = The 2-digit number that identifies
each section of a given course (e.g. ENGL 0250-01).
- SUFF (Course Suffix) = The 1-character alpha identifier for a course
section (e.g. ENGL 0250-01 X). Used in conjunction with Course Subject and
Course Number to identify experimental courses.
- CS (Course Classification Number) = A number that identifies a class'
Activity Type (e.g. C1 = LEC, C16 = LAB, S36 = Supervision etc.).
- L (Course Level) = A number that indicates the level of instruction
for a course; 1 = Lower Division (Course Numbers100-200), 2 = Upper Division
(Course Numbers 300-400) and 3 = Graduate Division (Course Numbers 500).
- DISC (Discipline) = A standard code used throughout the CSU that
identifies a discipline also known as a Higher Education General Education
Information Survey (HEGIS) code. The term "discipline" refers to
a specific academic area of study (e.g. 09021 is the HEGIS code for Aeronautical
Engineering). Normally, a discipline is a degreed major.
- S (Line Sequence) = A number that identifies a course resource such
as Activity Types, faculty or meeting times locations (e.g. a course with
LEC and LAB, taught within the same section, would have two sequence lines,
one for each Activity Type). Each faculty in a Team Teaching group would generate
a line sequence. The Line Sequence numbering scheme starts with 10 and advances
in increments of 2 (e.g. 10, 12, 14 etc.) with a limit of 10 line sequences
per section.
Course Space
- FACL (Facility) = Facility or building number. Non-assigned facilities
are: 997 = classes that do not meet in a contained space on campus (e.g. outdoors),
999 = classes that meet off campus (e.g. Student Teaching) and 998 = classes
that do not meet in a specific space on campus (e.g. classes with TBA meeting
days).
- Space (Space) = Room number.
- F (Facility Type) = A code that identifies the type of space in which
a course is taught. Courses taught with CS numbers 01 thru 06 are usually
associated with Space Type 1 (Lecture); courses taught with CS number 15 thru
16 are associated with Space Type 2 (Laboratory); courses taught with CS numbers
25 or 36 are associated with Space Type 3 (Non-Capacity) etc.
Course Credit Units
- ENR (Enrollment) = The number of students enrolled for academic credit
in a class. Enrollments through Extended Education and credit by examination
are not included.
- A-CCU (Adjusted Course Credit Units) = Number of course credit units
for an Activity Type that are associated with faculty workload. The Adjusted
Course Credit Units are distributed among the Activity Types in courses with
more than one type (e.g. Line Sequence 10 is the LEC segment of a 4.0 unit
course and Line Sequence 12 is the LAB segment of the same course, 3.0 units
are associated with the LEC and 1.0 unit is associated with the LAB).
- SCU (Student Credit Units) = The number of earned Course Credit Units
for all students enrolled in a given section. (Number of students x A-CCU
= SCU). Note: See the Course Prefix Report - Dept in ODIN for correct totals.
-
FCH (Faculty Contact Hours) = The number of hours
per week during which a faculty member is engaged in classroom or supervisional
contact with students.
-
TBA (To Be Arranged) = The number of non-supervisional
Faculty Contact Hours per week that are not formally scheduled. TBA Hours
are ordinarily specified only for "To Be Arranged" classes (e.g.
a class with meeting days of BY AR and instructional mode C20 - workshop).
-
GRP (Group Code) = Identifies classes that are taught
by the same faculty member at the same time and location (e.g. a lower division
/ upper division class where the upper division students are given research
assignments). Two individual courses are assigned for this class. Since
the courses are the same class in actuality Group Code treats the FCH and
WTU earned as one class.
