Assigned Time for Exceptional Levels of Service to Students
Academic Year 2019-2020
The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the California Faculty Association and the Board of Trustees of the
California State University designates the awarding of assigned time in the form of Weighted Teaching Units (WTU), on a
competitive basis, to Unit 3 faculty employees “who are engaged in exceptional levels of service that support the CSU’s
priorities, but who are not otherwise receiving an adjustment in workload to reflect their effort.” Awards are designated for
workload beyond the requirements of regular faculty assignments in enhancing the student learning environment that has not
already been supported by assigned time, professional development funds, or additional pay. Additional information can be
found at http://www.fresnostate.edu/academics/facultyaffairs/service/index.html
.
Completed Applications are due to your department by 10am, April 5, 2019.
Attach to this application form: a letter/memo/narrative describing the purpose of the assigned time
