The Faculty Handbook (Chapter 4) contains descriptions of the faculty leaves listed below, instructions for applying for both academic and non-academic leaves, eligibility requirements for these leaves, specific restrictions on sabbaticals, and a set of general comments about leaves, including their effect on pay and benefits. It should be noted that all leave requests – for non-regular rank faculty as well as for regular rank – should be routed through to the Dean to the Provost for final approval.

School staff may enter potential leaves in dFac when they are requested and confirm their approval, once it has been given.
