    Excerpts Include: 1.2 All rules and regulations of Texas A&M University and the University System that pertain to instructional programs on the main campus apply equally to distance education offerings. 1.3 Distance education credit courses, for which the University receives formula funding from the state, are considered part of the regular assigned teaching load of the faculty members. 7. SUPPORT FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION FACULTY 7.1. Like other contributions to teaching and scholarship, contributions to distance education, as part of assigned responsibilities, will be a factor in promotion and tenure decisions and merit increase decisions. A distance education course should be counted in the workload report in the same manner the course would be counted if taught by conventional methods. Preparation to teach a course by distance for the first time, or adapting a course for delivery by distance for the first time, should be credited for workload report purposes just as preparation to teach any other new course would be credited.
