Teaching Compensation

WSU Online courses may be taught as a part of a faculty member's regular teaching load, subject to approval by department chair and dean.

• $45.00 per SCH (per student, per semester credit hour), if the course is an overload or is taught by an adjunct
   
• A department may wish to use a master teacher/adjunct model under which compensation is divided between two individuals.

The overload or adjunct amount will be paid on the basis of third week enrollment numbers. One PAR will be sent to payroll for the full amount. The WSU Payroll office will divide the amount across separate pay periods through the semester.

It is strongly suggested that enrollment be limited to 15 students the first time an instructor teaches an online course. After the first offering, enrollment can be increased based on approval from the department chair and dean. Class size must be approved by the chair and dean each time a course is scheduled.
