Sabbatical Leaves

Members of the academically-salaried faculty who have given the University at least six years of service shall be considered eligible for sabbatical leave and may apply. However, sabbatical leaves shall be awarded only after thorough review and evaluation of the merits of the individual leave proposal and the needs of the department and the school. Academically salaried faculty employed by UMMHC may also apply, however, since the costs of these leaves must be borne by UMMHC, the merit of the individual case must be evaluated by the chair and by senior administration of UMMHC.

Faculty members seeking a sabbatical leave must submit a completed Application for Sabbatical Leave and Approval Form for Faculty Applications of Leave. The signed original will remain on file with the Office of Faculty Affairs, with a copy returned to the Department.

All sabbatical requests are subject to the approval of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs and Dean.
