Flex Activity Q&A
How many hours do I need to complete this year?
All Full-time contract faculty are obligated to four days of flex activities (Article 13 WORKLOAD. Section A. of 2007-2010 agreement). Full-time faculty are required to complete at least 24 hours of appropriate flex activities in each academic year, herein defined as July 1 – June 30.
What activities and events can satisfy the Flex Requirements?
“Activities or events that contribute to “Staff, Student, and Instructional Improvement” are considered to be applicable toward satisfying the Flex Calendar Obligation. Professional development activities intended for instructional improvement include In-Service Training, Workshops, Conferences, Seminars, Individual or small group planned projects, and institutionally planned activities. Also, tutoring and mentoring students are great ways to achieve Flex Credit.
Note: Activities or events used to satisfy the Flex Calendar Obligation may not conflict with regularly scheduled class activities or other regularly scheduled activities considered to be part of the normal “workload.”
How do I turn in Flex Hours?
All fulltime faculty can complete an online Flex Activity Report through Flextrack (see attached instructions). Be sure to include activities you will complete prior to July 1, 2010.
What is the deadline to submit Flex Hours?
All Flex Hours must be submitted by May 21, 2010 (commencement).
After I submit Flex Hours, when will I hear from the Flex Committee?
The Flex Committee will review your Flex Activities submissions and follow up with you ASAP.
Who should I call with additional questions?
You can call S.Courtney Hunter at ext. 8623 or email: shunter@valleycollege.edu.

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It's something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.
