Dates of Campus Duty

In accordance with the UNM Faculty Handbook, faculty are expected to be available for campus duty one week before the start of Monday classes at the beginning of each regular semester.

All absences from the area must be requested via the Faculty Absence Request form, and approved in advance by the chair. There are limitations to absences, which we generally internally prescribe as encompassing no more than 10 business days per semester.

Faculty and College Meetings

• Full-time faculty and continuing part-time faculty on tenure track are expected to attend Department faculty meetings, as well as the College of Fine Arts meetings held at the beginning of each semester. UNM directs that all full-time and tenure-track faculty members be available for teaching and for meetings Monday-Saturday, including evening times. You will be notified of meetings in advance. For other continuing (non-tenure track) part-time faculty and temporary part-time faculty, attendance is not required but is encouraged.
  
  
• Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 2:00-2:50 p.m., are reserved for Department faculty meetings and committee meetings. Do not schedule classes or lessons at these times.
  
  
• “Concert Music,” the weekly performance class for students, is held on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. It is recommended that you attend when possible, so that you can show your support for your own students and for those in other studios as well.

Recruitment

Faculty are expected to perform such recruiting duties as the department has deemed appropriate. These include such activities as the following:

• Recruiting at area or out-of-state high schools
• Calling prospective students
• Sending them recruitment packets, admission materials and applications
• Sending them scholarship information and applications
