Offer letters should use current templates as provided by the Provost: https://provost.utexas.edu/aps-faculty/
Offer letters may NOT include an increased nine-month academic rate. Rather, a contingency line may be added: “We expect this academic rate may be adjusted further, effective 8/16/24, consistent with college and university salary policies and available funding.”
Should use approved SWH/FTE numbers [listed below]
Offer letters must specify teaching assignments, corresponding with these guidelines.
Deviations from these guidelines must have approval via the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs on file.
In most situations, deviations from these guidelines must be specified and explained in offer letters.
Both Fall and Spring (when applicable) teaching assignments need to be specified. If spring courses are unknown, the letter will mention that specific course assignments are to be determined. However, the letter needs to specify the teaching load across the academic year, e.g.:
Your teaching load for YY-YY will be 3-3. In Fall you will teach …. Spring course assignments are TBD (or if not, state the courses).
Compensation for appointments above 3 courses or 12 contact hours, or appointments that would otherwise bring an employee above a total of 40 SWH across all jobs, requires an approved Instructional Overload Form (see wiki page).
