Timelines are announced early each fall. A professional development leave application packet must be completed and forwarded to the Faculty Professional Development Committee through your dean. Upon committee review, recommendations are made to the Vice President of Instruction who contacts each applicant. Applications are generally submitted no later than the January preceding the requested leave period. Leave recipients will receive full salary for a one semester leave and half salary for the academic year.
Available to: Probationary (tenure-track) faculty who have worked a minimum of one year are eligible for a short-term leave. Tenured faculty are eligible for an extended leave.
Proposals for Professional Development Leaves for Fall 2010, Spring 2011, and Summer 2011 are due on January 29, 2010, to your immediate supervisor. Proposals may be submitted for externships, special projects and educational leaves for one to two semesters.
