Sabbatical Leaves
Sabbatical leaves are awarded to eligible faculty members on the basis of the strength of their applications. They are not awarded automatically at the end of a given period of time. Faculty members must meet the eligibility and conditions defined by HR17.
Sabbatical proposals may be submitted in the year tenure is awarded for a leave to commence the following year, provided that the faculty member has completed six full years of service as required by policy. An individual becomes eligible for a subsequent sabbatical leave provided that the minimum required contract years of full-time service has elapsed since beginning a previous sabbatical leave.
At the conclusion of the sabbatical leave, the recipient must submit a report of the work accomplished to Academic Affairs. The report should indicate how the experience improved the recipient's capacity to serve the University. In general, the report is to be submitted within two months of the return from sabbatical leave.
