Academic Coordinator
Academic Coordinator titles (CAPM 322.375) are for appointees who administer academic programs that provide service closely related to the teaching or research mission of the University. This service may be provided to academic departments, campus research institutes, other academic units, to students, or to the general public.
The Academic Coordinator titles may also be used for appointees who administer academic programs which are academically-based public service programs with outreach responsibilities in the areas of K-12 teacher or curriculum development in such areas as science and health education, language and writing projects, and the arts.
The duties of an Academic Coordinator are primarily administrative. Individuals in an Academic Coordinator title who are assigned research or instructional duties are required to hold a dual title. However, Academic Coordinators may conduct occasional non-credit seminars or workshops without holding a faculty title.
While the program overseen by an Academic Coordinator need not be departmentally based, the program must be fundamentally academic in nature, involving University research activities or activities requiring judgments relating to University instruction.
Levels
Appointment to an Academic Coordinator title may be in one of three levels, Academic Coordinator I, II, or III. Determination of the appropriate level for an appointment or a change in level shall take into consideration such factors as program scope and complexity.
