Sabbatical Leave

The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to increase the effectiveness of the full-time faculty member by providing the opportunity to pursue scholarly interests, pedagogical research, and professional development. A sabbatical should result in the faculty member returning to the College with renewed vigor, perspective, and insight. This policy sets forth the purpose of faculty sabbaticals, eligibility criteria, procedures for requesting a sabbatical, and necessary approvals. After determining eligibility, a full-time faculty member should complete the Sabbatical Leave Request Form and forward it to their department Chair/Director for review/approval. Full-time faculty members can request a copy of the form from their Chair/Director.
