Overview
Faculty Workload Management includes two key reporting and tracking views: the Instructor Dashboard and the Instructor Profile.
The Instructor Dashboard gives a high-level overview of all faculty within a given term and their workload.
The Instructor Profile summarizes a given Instructor’s teaching and non-teaching workload for each term, with details on each section and non-teaching release (i.e. activities like advising, research, etc.) assigned to them for that term.

The Workload Status indicator can be green, yellow, red, or blank, with the below criteria determining the indicator.

“Underloaded” is defined as Total Load being greater than or equal to 75% of Expected Load but less than 90% of Expected Load.
“Overloaded” is defined as Total Load being less than or equal to 125% of Expected Load and greater than 110% of Expected Load.

Blank indicator

Total Load
The total teaching and non-teaching workload assigned to that instructor in the displayed term.
Expected Load
The expected total workload for the Instructor in the term displayed.
Load Percentage
Calculated as Total Load divided by Expected Load, displaying the percentage of Expected Load the instructor is assigned in the term displayed.
Teaching Load
Teaching Load is the sum of workload produced by Sections the Instructor is assigned to in Coursedog Scheduling.
If an Instructor is teaching four sections in the term displayed, Teaching Load sums the workload of each of the four sections to produce a total Teaching Load value.
Non-teaching Load
The sum of Releases assigned to the Instructor in the Instructor Profile for the term displayed.
Releases are meant to include all non-teaching work, such as service work, advising, research time, releases for grants, sabbaticals, etc.
