Non-Teaching Groups

You can use the Non-Teaching Groups page to configure non-teaching groups and use them to categorize the non-teaching types. Non-teaching groups group the non-teaching types so that they can be selected in the non-teaching structure when you configure compensation plans. Non-teaching groups are equivalent to Course Groups.

Non-teaching represents a category of work performed at your institution that is not teaching but contributes to the education process.

First, you configure the activity types at the campuses for your institution. Then, you can configure the:

  • Non-teaching types that will be associated with Non-teaching activities. Non-teaching types organize your non-teaching assignments and can serve as an umbrella to your non-teaching activities. Consider non-teaching types as equivalent of courses where you create a type and then use it to create an non-teaching activity within a specific term to make an assignment.

  • Non-teaching activities represent activities performed at your institution that are not teaching but contribute to the education process. Non-teaching activities are the equivalent of classes.

For example, you could have these types and activities:

  • Teaching support

    • Curriculum development
    • Course preparation

  • Public service

    • Community outreach
    • Study council

If your institution uses the feature in Faculty Workload to automate pay generation for adjunct faculty, you must also configure non-teaching groups. Non-teaching groups group the non-teaching types so that they can be selected in the non-teaching structure when you configure compensation plans. Non-teaching groups are the equivalent of course groups. ( Select the Configuration tile > locate Faculty Workload > select Compensation Plans.)

Non-teaching groups are required for pay generation.

Prerequisites

To view the page, you must have Faculty Workload - Configuration - View authorization.

To edit the page, you must have Faculty Workload - Configuration - Manage authorization.

To edit an item associated with more than one campus, you must have access to all the campuses. For example, if the item is configured to be available at three campuses and you only have access to two of the campuses, you can view the item, but cannot edit it. When you add an item, you can only select campuses to which you have access.

Your institution must have configured Non-Teaching Types ( Select the Configuration tile > locate Faculty Workload > select Non-Teaching Types.).

Access Method

Select the Configuration tile > locate Faculty Workload > select Non-Teaching Groups.
