Dear Faculty Members,
Your online load reports are available for approval as of today, Tuesday, Feb. 6. As you likely know, drop/add ended last week.
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 revised submission dates. Faculty should complete their load card by Monday, Feb. 12. Department chairs and program directors should submit approved load cards to division directors by Friday, Feb. 16. Final load cards should be submitted to the PDoF by March 1.
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 Spring 2024 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 cr course release for the year may see that reported as 1.0 cr for the fall and then will be 0 cr in the spring, rather than as 0.5 cr 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 spring 2024 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 is anything that is incorrect or absent, or if you would like to ask a question before approving your load report, click Do not approve for instructions on how to inform the appropriate offices of the error. We will reach out to you to answer your question, or when your concern has been addressed, to let you know that the load report is again available for your approval.
Please do not hesitate to contact either of us if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Any questions about load credit, including non-instructional load credit should be sent to Diane Beach dbeach@colgate.edu.
