The President, at his option, may allow a class with fewer than 10 students to be continued for the semester. If one or more of the teacher's class sections are canceled, the Contract remains valid for the remaining sections. No pay will be granted for canceled class sections except for a prorated salary for the number of sessions the class met before it was canceled.

Any change in state and federal law, College policies, rules, regulations, and administrative directives, shall act as a novation to this Contract. Continued performance under this Contract shall constitute acceptance of the novation by the Employee.

5. This Contract is conditioned on the Employee satisfactorily providing any certification, experience records, teaching credentials, medical records, and other records, required by law, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, or the President.

No amendments to this Contract shall be binding unless authorized by the Board, reduced to writing, and signed by both parties.

8. Employment in federal, state, or privately funded positions or projects is expressly conditioned upon the availability of full funding for the position, and any reduction of such funding constitutes good cause for non-extension of employment beyond the funding period.

9. The Employee agrees that the salary for the last month of the term of this Contract shall be payable only upon receipt from the Employee of all College property, textbooks, reports or other items required by the President.
