Full time faculty members doing extension work can apply for an extension load credit (ELC) to partially satisfy their required load of 12 units per semester, but ELC shall not be used as basis for claiming honorarium for overload teaching. Instructors doing extension work without Study Load Credit (SLC) are also eligible to apply.
The deadline for ELC applications are usually due around the beginning of every academic semester and closing of ELC is before the start of ELC applications. New ELC applications will not be allowed unless applications from the previous semester have been successfully closed.
Application procedure
Submit the following documents in pdf to TALAS:
- Any proof of involvement, such as updated MOA, contract of appointment (The extension project’s duration must be aligned with the academic year and semester).
- If no MOA or contract of appointment is available, a Certification signed by the Dean may be provided. A sample template is available here.
- Justification letter (if total ELC and RLC exceeds 6 units)
*Please ensure that all applications follow the IB ELC Guidelines and the IB Extension Agenda and all forms must be signed.
