The college covers instructors\u2019 salary. Unless restricted by the grant, these are open enrolled classes. Since over 50% of the college operational budget is funded by state appropriation, regular tuition and fee costs are subsidized by the state.<\/li>\n<li>Grants will be charged at the contracted course rate. All students enrolled in the class will receive a waiver for tuition and fees for this class. The college covers instructors\u2019 salary. These are closed enrollment classes.<br \/>\nFor example, the fall 2024 rate is $1,950 per credit (cost subject to change annually). The charge for a 3 credit course will be $1,950 * 3 = $5,850.<\/li>\n<li>Grants will be charged for the faculty member\u2019s salary and payroll tax. All students enrolled in the class will receive a waiver for tuition and fees for this class. These are closed enrollment classes. In some instances (usually STEM SA grant), the grant will be charged for the faculty members salary and payroll tax to reserve a set amount of seats for grant funded students (often times 10). Non-grant students will be billed regular tuition and fees.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Paying Faculty Release time on Grants <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When a full-time faculty member receives release time from a class in order to perform a separate function for a grant program, the grant manager\/coordinator in conjunction with the Grants Office has two options available to them:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The grant will reimburse the college for the cost of the faculty member release time. The college will cover the salary and payroll tax of the replacement adjunct instructor. Students enrolled in the course will be charged regular tuition and fees. For example, if a faculty member who has a $66,000 annual salary receives a 3 credit release in spring 2025, the amount will be calculated the following way:<br \/>\nPer credit rate: $66,000 \/ 30 (full time credit load per year) = $2,200 per credit<br \/>\nSalary for 3 credits: $2,200 * 3 = $6,600 Fringes and Payroll Tax for 3 credits (FY25 rate): $6,600 * 45.06% = $2,973.96<br \/>\nTotal: $6,600 + 2,973.96 = $9,573.96<\/p>\n<p><strong>OR<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The grant will be charged for the salary and payroll tax of the replacement adjunct instructor to backfill teaching the class. Under this model (which is the model most frequently used at 911±¬ÁÏÍø), the grant would save a considerable amount since a 3 credit adjunct averages about \u00bd the cost of what the college would be reimbursed under the full time faculty option. Since the charge is for the work done by the full time faculty member receiving the release and not for teaching the course by the replacement adjunct instructor, students enrolled in the course are charged regular tuition and fees.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":227,"menu_order":12,"template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-259","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":456,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/259\/revisions\/456"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/227"}],"next":[{"title":"Grant Purchasing Procedures","link":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/docs\/grants-manual\/project-administration\/grant-purchasing-flowchart\/","href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/297"}],"prev":[{"title":"Compliance","link":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/docs\/grants-manual\/project-administration\/compliance\/","href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcc.mass.edu\/grants\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
