Dear Faculty Members,
Your online load reports are available for approval as of today, Tuesday, September 8.
Instructions for completing the online load reports and electronically forwarding them to your chair and ADC are found below. In most cases, completion of the load report will take five minutes or less.
Please note the following submission dates:
- Faculty should complete their load card by Friday, September 11.
- Department chairs and program directors should submit approved load cards to division directors by Monday, September 14.
- Final load cards should be submitted to the PDoF by Monday, September 21.
Online Load Report Submission Instructions
- Access your load report at facultytoolbox.colgate.edu/load. (A link to the online load report is also available through the portal at the top of your Faculty Dashboard under the ‘Faculty Toolbox’ tab.)
- Select fall 2026 as the term.
- Review the load information present. Please check to make sure that both teaching and non-instructional credits for the semester are accurate. Note that some non-teaching credits will be reflected in a single semester rather than distributed over the entire year. For example, a program director with a 1.0 credit course release for the year may see that reported as 1.0 credit for the fall and then will be 0 credits in the spring, rather than as 0.5 credit each term.
- Fill in your office hours for this semester, if you are teaching this term.
- Note any comments you would like to share with your department chair/program director in the space available.
- If the course and load information for the fall 2026 term is accurate, click Approve and your load card will be forwarded to your department chair/program director and to your department/program coordinator. If there are any inaccuracies or missing information, or if you have questions before approving your load card, click Do not approve and send an email to Diane Beach (dbeach@colgate.edu). Please inform her of the necessary changes or your load card related questions. She will handle the updates or forward them to the appropriate office for action. We will follow up with you to address your questions or inform you that your changes have been resolved and your load card is available again for your approval.
Best regards,
Douglas N. Johnson
Dean of Academic and Curricular Affairs
