The College of Education does not have a policy on Option III courses, and Option III courses are not subject to the College teaching salary cap. Follow any applicable established department policies and standards. Workload and amount are at the discretion of the department chair but should be consistent within the department. 

UT Policy

See Option III Guidelines PDF - page 5 on faculty compensation.

ProcessSee COE: Additional Employment and Allowances > Option III > 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.

Department chair approval of Option III payments is required prior to processing - please include comments in the Workday business process indicating approval - for example, "Option III payment approved by Chair Name on MM/DD/YYYY." 

Option III courses do not generate teaching load credits.

Faculty may also request an exception to charge 100% effort for three full summer months to their grant(s), but this request will require signing an Attestation that 100% of effort for all three months will be devoted only to the applicable grant(s) and to no other activities or personal leave. This Attestation must be approved prior to the summer appointment being made. All Attestations must be approved by the Dean.

Example

If an appointment is more than 38 SWH and 100% funded on a 26 acct for more than one month, a completed attestation form must be uploaded to the Workday business process. Alternatively, reduce the SWH to 38 or fund 95% on a 26account and 5% on another non-sponsored account.
