I've been at 9 institutions and typically your situation has been the norm. If you don't take a course release and we would have had to hire an adjunct we would pay at the "summer pay" rate which has typically been 10% of salary because we count that your actual teaching load is 5 courses a semester which at my current institution is 3 courses, 1 course release for research (required of tenure track and tenured faculty) and 1 course for student mentoring and/or committee/community service.
