Unit 1 Contract Lecturers appointed on a part-time hourly basis accrue one-third (0.33) of a seniority point per semester. Unit 1 Contract Lecturers appointed on a full or reduced sessional workload accrue one-half (0.5) of a seniority point per semester. However, Unit 1 Contract Lecturers do not officially accrue seniority points until they have earned one (1) full seniority point or taught for a department/school over three terms within two years. Until that time, the seniority list designates those Unit 1 members with less than one (1) seniority point as having zero (0) seniority points. The University considers all Contract Lecturers to be on probation for the first three terms they teach in a department/school. Seniority is department/school specific, not course specific.
