COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING OPERATING POLICY AND PROCEDURE
EOP 13-73, 95
CLEP and Independent Study Course Credits

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Holders of College of Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure Manual

DATE: June 22, 1973, Revised July 3, 1995

SUBJECT: CLEP and Independent Study Course Credits


PURPOSE

The purpose of this Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure (EOP) is to establish and specify the conditions under which credit may be earned through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and through Independent Study.


POLICY/PROCEDURE

Part A - College Level Examination Program (CLEP) credits.

The courses for which the College of Engineering will allow credit through the CLEP program are listed in the current University Bulletin.

Other requirements predicating acceptance are:

1. The minimum acceptable score is a raw score equivalent to the 50th percentile.

2. The credit is considered the same as extension credit and subject to the same limitations. (Reference is made to the Ninety-Second Annual Catalog 1972-73, page 25, under CREDITS. "A total of not more than 25 per cent of any curriculum may be earned by advanced standing examinations, evaluated military service credits, correspondence, tutorial, extension and USAFI courses. Evaluated military service credits are classified as extension work.)

3. The applicability of the credit toward degree requirements is determined by the department head concerned.

4. Credits appearing on another institution's transcript will be accepted by the College as transfer credit, within the guidelines as set forth above.

Part B - Independent Study Course Credits

Independent Study credit up to a maximum of 6 semester hours will be accepted with the approval of the department head and the Dean. In no case will engineering courses taken by correspondence be approved.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING OPERATING POLICY AND PROCEDURE

Twelve-Month Faculty Appointments

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Holders of College of Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure Manual

DATE: May 27, 1980, Revised July 3, 1995

SUBJECT: Twelve-Month Faculty Appointments


PURPOSE

The purpose of this Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure (EOP) is to establish a policy dealing with twelve-month faculty appointments.


POLICY/PROCEDURE

Tenured or tenure-track faculty members may convert from a nine-month contract to a twelve-month contract with the approval of their academic department head or unit director, the Director of the EIRS if the unit is a research unit, the Dean of Engineering, the Dean of their academic college if different from engineering, and the appropriate vice president(s). Such conversion will be governed by the following policies:

1. Twelve-month salary shall be 4/3 of the nine-month salary.

2. To maintain a twelve-month appointment, the faculty member must on a full-time basis for each thirteen-week summer period, except with the approval of the department head or director employing the faculty member.

3. Upon termination of involvement with the unit, either through choice or through loss of funding for the unit, the appointment shall immediately be converted from twelve months to nine months.

4. For conversion from a twelve-month appointment to a nine-month appointment, the new nine-month salary shall be 3/4 of the twelve-month salary.

5. Faculty members on a twelve-month appointment must follow leave policies established by the University. In accordance with these policies, applications for annual leave must be submitted in advance and approved by the appropriate department head or director, and the appropriate Dean.

6. Accumulated annual vacation leave must be taken prior to conversion from a twelve-month appointment to a nine-month appointment.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING OPERATING POLICY AND PROCEDURE
EOP 26-90
Overhead Distribution on Grants and Contracts Involving Multiple Units

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Holders of College of Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure Manual

DATE: October 1, 1990

SUBJECT: Overhead Distribution on Grants and Contracts Involving Multiple Units


PURPOSE

The purpose of this Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure (EOP) is to establish a policy for the distribution of overhead on grants and contracts involving multiple units.


POLICY/PROCEDURE

Overhead funds recovered by and distributed to units in the College of Engineering derived from research grants or contracts on which two or more faculty in two or more units participate are to be divided among the units involved. The following should be used as a guide in determining the division of funds.

1. If the grant or contract involves multiple principal investigators collectively responsible for establishing the project, the unit of each principal investigator should receive overhead funds in proportion to the involvement of the unit's principal investigator in the project. A principal investigator's involvement for overhead distribution purposes is determined by the funds expended, in all categories on which overhead is recovered, as a result of the principal investigator participating in the research effort. If additional faculty are involved, the overhead distributed to their units should be determined as outlined in #2 below.

2. If the grant or contract involves multiple faculty but a single principal investigator is responsible for establishing the project, the unit of each faculty member involved should receive one-half of the overhead funds recovered only on the salary paid to the faculty member from the grant or contract, and the unit of the principal investigator should receive the remaining half. Overhead funds recovered on other than faculty salaries

remain within the unit of the principal investigator. If the principal investigator is the director of a separately budgeted research unit within the College of Engineering, all overhead recovered on the salary of the principal investigator remains within the research unit.

3. If the relationship of a proposed grant or contract to multiple units within the College does not fit the above outlined circumstances, then the overhead distribution should be negotiated prior to submission of the proposal by the units and principal investigators involved. The agreement reached on overhead distribution should be indicated on the Internal Approval Sheet prior to proposal submission

Prior to submitting a proposal for a research grant or contract, the faculty involved together with the Heads or Directors of the units involved should agree on which of the above methods of distribution of overhead funds is appropriate for the particular project being proposed. If units outside the College of Engineering are involved, determination of the distribution of overhead funds should be conducted on an individual basis with the understanding that, unless unacceptable to the outside unit(s), one of the above methods of distribution should be used. In any case, the method of overhead distribution should be indicated on the Internal Approval Sheet prior to proposal submission.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING OPERATING POLICY AND PROCEDURE
EOP 27-90
Expenditure of Funds from University Development Accounts

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Holders of College of Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure Manual

DATE: October 15, 1990

SUBJECT: Expenditure of Funds from University Development Accounts


PURPOSE

The purpose of this Engineering Operating Policy and Procedure (EOP) is to establish a policy for the expenditure of funds from University Development Accounts.


POLICY/PROCEDURE

Expenditure of funds held in accounts in University Development may be accomplished either by first transferring the funds to a University account or by direct expenditure through University Development. Funds transferred to a University account prior to expenditure are subject to all expenditure policies of the University for the type of account into which the funds were transferred.

Direct expenditure of funds through University Development may be accomplished by:

1. Adhering to sound business practices in initiating an expenditure,

2. Informing Property Control of the acquisition of any item(s) that if purchased through a University account would normally be reported to the University inventory, and

3. Adhering to all policies of the Central Data Processing Authority in the acquisition of computer or telecommunications equipment.

A request for payment directly through University Development should be forwarded by the chief administrative officer of the unit responsible for the account to the Director of Budget and Finance of University Development.
