Faculty Leaves

Across the span of a faculty member’s career, there are times when a leave—whether for scholarship, family-related, or other reasons—is warranted. To apply for a Fellowship Award or a Scholar Incentive Award, please use the forms on this page. For medical, parental, or other types of leaves, you should initiate a conversation with your department chair and/or Human Resources. Note that some forms of non-scholarly leaves have workload implications and can constitute a break in service. In addition, there is a Code of Practice that governs instructional leaves.
