Dear faculty members: The contract selection period for the 2024-25 academic year is now open. If you would like to change your election from 9-pay-9 to 9-pay-12 or vice versa, the election form will be available in the UCD Access Portal from May 1 – July 12, 2024. If you do not choose a schedule, it will default to an academic year pay schedule.
Please consider carefully if you are thinking of choosing the 9-pay-9 method. The month of May’s pay will be a prorated gross amount (read: a significant reduction!) of the academic year salary based on the May academic year-end date. Summer course teaching is scheduled to match actual course dates, so if you teach a Maymester course, then your payment for that course will be issued in May only. If you teach a summer course in June and July, then your payment will be issued in June and July only.
Information about faculty contract schedules, a contract calculator tool, and other contract selection resources are available to you here: www.cu.edu/employee-services/payroll/pay/contracts
Faculty 9-month contracts start payment the first day of the academic year in August, and end payment on the last day of the academic year in May.
