Earned Service Credit
College & University Educators
Service credit for college and university educators is generally determined on the basis of the institution’s “full-time equivalent” (FTE) workload. FTE may vary by institution.
A full year of service credit is earned when the educator’s workload, averaged over three quarters or two semesters during the fiscal year, exceeds 66% of the FTE. The entire quarter or semester must occur within the fiscal year for the educator to receive full credit for that quarter or semester.
Service credit granted for quarters or semesters divided into shorter units (e.g., split summer sessions) is limited to that unit’s proportion of a full quarter or semester (i.e., 1/2, 1/3, etc.). To determine earned service credit for summer sessions that overlap fiscal years, use the portion of summer earnings actually earned during the fiscal year relative to the regular academic year’s salary.
