The following principles are to be followed in considering a teaching overload:
1. Overloads for full-time faculty are not desirable because they require time which the faculty member might otherwise use for improvement of teaching, scholarship, service, or advising.
2. Overloads are to be given to full-time faculty only when no other options exist.
3. Overloads are not "rewards;" neither are they "entitlements."
4. A full-time faculty member may have no more than three credit hours of overload for the entire academic year.
