Part 2 - Academic Manual

pursuant to the vision-mission of the University. The classification of academic ranks
of full time faculty members is based primarily on the Common Criteria for
Evaluation (CCE) and the Qualitative Criteria Evaluation (QCE) of State Universities
and Colleges (SUCs) as per NBC 461 and future DBM issuances.
The faculty member may be classified as: 1) Instruction-based and 2)
Research-based faculty.
1.4.4.1.1. Instruction-based Faculty – Are those engage in full-time teaching with
a minimum of 18 units workload (WL) in a semester (see Table 3a on
page 65)
1.4.4.1.2. Research-based Faculty – Are those who opted, applied and approved
to focus more on research activities with a minimum of four university
approved researches per semester. Thus, his/her researches are given
12 equivalent units in his/her WL (See Table 3b in page 13). Externally
funded researches are included provided they are presented and
approved by the University Research Council (URC). Thus, research
based faculty member must teach a minimum of 6 units (i.e. 2
subjects of 3 units each) to meet the required minimum WL of 18
units.
Overload/Excess Load – additional subjects assigned to either instruction-
based or research-based faculty in excess of 18 unit’s actual teaching load shall be
credited as teaching overload.

1.4.4.2. Non-Regular Faculty Members – Non-regular faculty members are those hired to
teach for a specific period of time under Contract of Service (COS) appointment,
where there is no employer-employee relationship. Non-regular faculty members
are classified as follows:

workload of 24 units and is to report eight (8) hours per
