Instructional Overload (IO)
Policy
The required teaching course load for a Tenured/Tenure-Track faculty member in the College of Education is two organized courses per long semester. Teaching courses in excess of that is typically approved only in exceptional circumstances, and requires the prior approval of the department chair and Academic Personnel Services (APS).

1) Department AM submits form "Instructional Overload" at Faculty Affairs/APS ServiceNow: Complete Forms.
- For guidance, see COE: ServiceNow Forms
- In the section "Required Approval Routing," add the following:

...
Instructional Overload prior-approval forms are not required during the summer, although the department may upload one to the appropriate business process if they choose to do so. If an assignment meets the definition of Instructional Overload and a form is not used, the associated Workday business process should include notes indicating chair approval, for example: "Instructional overload approved by Chair Name on MM/DD/YYYY". See COE: Faculty Summer Appointments > tab "Teaching," section "Instructional overload - summer" for more information.
...
Instructional overload for non-faculty is processed via a 0% Lecturer PAR. Once the PAR has been approved and the appointment has pushed into Workday, the department can proceed to process the overload on the 0% Lecturer position as a New Allowance - Instructional Overload (ongoing). For more information on how to process the allowance, see the Requesting Compensation Changes W.I.G..
Option III
Policy
- COE policy: The College of Education does not have a policy on Option III courses. Workload and amount are at the discretion of the department chair.
- UT policy: See Graduate School: Option III (Non-Formula-Funded) Graduate Programs
Faculty compensation
Option III course instruction is normally done on an overload basis. These courses are not part of a faculty member's regular workload. The faculty member may receive additional compensation for this overload activity. See more at Option III Policy Guide Revised August 4, 2023.
Fall and spring process
Option III classes do not generate teaching load credits, and so do not require prior approval from APS, nor an Instructional Overload Pre-Approval Form.
...
- Approval details: "Option III payment approved by Chair Name on MM/DD/YYYY."

Summer process
For nine-month faculty, compensation for work done during the summer should be compensated via summer Additional Job, as long as doing so does not result in a total of more than 40 Scheduled Weekly Hours across all summer jobs during any given time period. Any portion of Option III compensation that would result in more than 40 SWH should be paid via One-Time Payment or Allowance, on top of the summer jobs.
