Extended University Contract/Flex Course Payment Process

The hiring unit is responsible for completing all hiring paperwork for individuals teaching Extended University contract or flex courses for their department. This will allow each department to see all efforts their employees are involved in. In addition, it will ensure all hiring paperwork is completed at the time of hire.

payment categories:

  • Extra Pay - Employee will oversee a contract/flex course (not teaching)
  • Non-Tenure Track - New NTT will be hired to teach a contract/flex course
  • Non-Tenure Track - Currently employed NTT will teach a contract/flex course
  • Overload - Employee is already employed at 100 percent and will teach a contract/flex course in addition to their normal assignment
  • Summer - Tenure/Tenure Track or NTT will teach contract/flex course during summer session (5/16-8/15)
  • Tenure/Tenure-Track Buyout - Tenure/Tenure-Track will teach contract/flex course as a buyout of his/her regular assignment

Payment Process:

Extended University will provide the account and position number for any payments related to contract or flex courses. Since the paperwork will not be forwarded to Extended University, the department will complete an Account/Position Number Request form to obtain this information. A separate form must be completed for each individual receiving payment for a contract or flex course. The Account/Position Number Request form is completed online and submitted to Extended University. An e-mail response from Extended University will be returned to you indicating the account and position number to be used. This e-mail will serve as the fiscal agent authorization and should be printed and attached to the hiring paperwork. The department will record the account and position number on the hiring paperwork and submit it to Human Resources.

Prior to requesting the account and position number, the course application, including the budget, must be submitted to Extended University. To ensure timely processing, submit the Account/Position Number Request for to Extended University by the 1st of the month in which you want the employee to receive payment.
