FAQ
What is a FAP?
FAP is an acronym for Flex Activity Proposal. Your FLEX credit (full time contract faculty only) obligation can be met either on or off campus. If attending an off campus activity, you will need to complete and turn in one of these forms to your Dean or designee prior to attending activity. Top This is a long and complicated answer! Instead of re-writing the answer, request a copy of the SWC Flex Guidelines. Top How many hours do I need to complete my FLEX obligation? Full time contract faculty must complete 28 hours of Flex credit to meet their professional development obligation. If you have questions about the equation used to determine FLEX credit units please send an email to the Staff Development Program. Top What is the difference between FLEX and HURDLE credit? FLEX credit is your professional development obligation (mandatory) and is ONLY for full time contract faculty.

If you have questions about Hurdle, please contact the Human Resources office. Top What is Educational Incentive Credit?
