The Allegan stipend, provided to full- and part-time Lake Michigan College faculty teaching at the Allegan campus, serves as an incentive for instruction delivered at a distant campus.

The stipend provides payment to the instructor of the equivalent of 1 additional contact hour per 14-week course taught on-site in Allegan, regardless of on-site frequency (e.g., hybrid course) or if the faculty teaches more than one course on- site on the same day. For courses less than 14 weeks, the amount will be prorated. Compensation for the additional contact hour is based on the faculty’s current rate of pay.

The stipend is not a mileage, expense, or travel, reimbursement, and is therefore taxable income to the recipient. It will be automatically included in the faculty contract for that course.

The additional “contact hour” for Allegan courses in an equivalent amount stipend and is not included in the calculation of overload.
