Reporting Reminder
For TRS reporting purposes, in person instructional time must be converted to clock hours and counted as a minimum of two clock hours for each hour of instruction in the classroom or lab. This applies to all instructors for higher education whose employment is measured in semester or course hours or credits, instructional units, or any other unit representing class, including adjunct faculty. The conversion reflects instructional time as well as preparation, grading and other time typically associated with one hour of instruction. If the RE has established a greater amount of preparation time for each hour in the classroom or lab, the RE’s standard will be used to determine the number of clock hours scheduled for work.
Employment as an instructor of an online class taken by students for college credit that is measured or expressed in terms of the number of courses; semester or course hours/credits; instructional units; or other units of time representing class or instructional time must be counted as a minimum of two clock hours for each course hour or semester hour.
Please note: Instructors of continuing education classes would be excluded from using the conversion and must be reported with actual time worked or scheduled hours.
