Overview

Calculating Cooperative Education (Co-Op) contracts (K01-K17, KF1) applies to both Co-Op Experiences (Clinical) and Co-Op Seminars (Lecture).  At Community Colleges of Spokane instructor pay for Co-Op classes is based on the number of students enrolled, divided by the max of 60.  For example, 10 students enrolled divided by 60 student max equates to 16.667% FTE.  That FTE% is then multiplied against the standard Term Max Load Rate, the maximum amount an adjunct faculty could be paid if working 100% FTE.  The resulting value is the amount of pay the instructor is eligible for.  The Term Contact Hours of the contract is calculated by multiplying the FTE% by the total hours for workload category A (165 hours).  The Load Factor in the Schedule of Class is not a factor in Co-Op pay.

Note: For Spokane the Assignment Type naming convention begins with 2 to 4 characters code that specify the division issuing the contract (noted by ‘DDDD’ in the example below) for Co-Op contracts the Assignment Type is followed by [C].  If a division has a contract calculation created to calculate Co-Op as part of regular Full Time load then an Assignment Type will be visible in Schedule of Class that is followed by [CO], for Co-Op - FTE Only.

‘DDDD’ [C] - Co-Op (payable)

‘DDDD’ [CO] - Co-Op (FTE Only)

Checklist Steps for Co-Op Contracts (Spokane Only)

  1. Confirm the instructor exists on the Instructor/Adviser Table for the institution with an Effective Date of 01/01/1901.
  2. Add the Instructor to class in Schedule of Class once, using the Co-Op Assignment Type, using the plus (+) symbol to add a new row if needed:
    • Ensure that the Empl Record Number is that of the correct job record.
      • If hired after Term start, use system default of 0 and override the Empl Rcd Nbr in the FWL Grid, adjusting start date and prorating Term Max Load Rate if needed.
    • Note: Load Factor is left at 100%, as it is not a factor in Co-Op calculations.
