Signature Course Funding
Funding
Model for the College of Liberal Arts
For
2013-14 and future years
- $13,000
in faculty replacement costs will be provided to the department for each
faculty member receiving a full course release to teach a signature course.
-
In addition, $1,000 will be reserved in a separate sub-account for
special course expenses. At the end of
the fiscal year, any unused funds may be reallocated at the discretion of the
department chair.
-
For each UGS-303 course, $8,000 will be provided directly to the department
from UGS for each TA (at least one TA for each 50 students).
- UGS has reserved funds for additional expenses for large format courses.
Faculty may apply through department chairs directly to UGS for
additional funds.
Departments may use Signature Course funds for either non-tenure-track faculty
salaries or teaching assistant/assistant instructor salaries. By provost
ruling, in no case may these funds be used to enhance any tenured or
tenure-track faculty salary directly.

- $13,000
in faculty replacement costs will be provided to the department for each
faculty member receiving a full course release to teach a signature course.
This amount includes $1,000 for special course expenses.
- For each UGS-303 course, $8,000 for each TA (at least one TA for each 50
students) will be provided directly to the department from UGS.
- $1,000 per course will be reserved in a separate sub-account for special course
expenses. Departments should make every effort to support faculty requests of
up to that amount. Procedurally, faculty members should submit spending
proposals to their department chair for approval. Departments are encouraged to
develop an internal procedure with submission deadlines that align with your
departmental budget planning process. Funds will be allocated at the discretion
of the department chair. Any unused funds may be reallocated at the discretion
of the department chair.
