Faculty members developing online courses may receive a stipend ($1000/credit hour not to exceed $4000). The stipend is for the performance of duties for course development that are outside the scope of the academic period of their contracted agreement and, for administrative staff, for the performance of duties that are outside the usual position function and schedule. The stipend for all faculty must fall within the guidelines for extra compensation. The development of the course with stipend is a Work Made for Hire per USI’s Intellectual Property Policy.
