Subject: Winter Session 2017-18 MAUI Offerings Planner Open for Course Entry

Date: February 14, 2017

I am writing to solicit proposals for courses to be offered during the next Winter Session.

Please remember that winter courses are expected to provide an educational experience equivalent to a course offered during the fall or spring semester. High demand courses targeted for undergraduates will be given top priority. Independent study courses will be allowed during the Winter Session and will have a begin date of 12/27/2017 and an end of 1/12/2018. All courses must be completed by 01/12/2018 with final grades submitted by Thursday 01/18/18. Please enter these courses in the MAUI Offerings Planner by June 15th. The Offerings Planner will be closed on June 16th for room scheduling and will open again on August 14th.

Faculty with nine-month appointments who teach during the Winter Session will be paid 1/9th of their academic year salary for a three semester-hour course. Salaries for instructors who teach one or two semester-hour courses will be prorated accordingly. As a reminder, do not include administrative supplements or mid-year increases, if applicable, when computing Winter Session salaries.
