All sabbatical or research leaves should be immediately followed by a period of at least one year on campus carrying out normal teaching and service responsibilities in addition to your research.
‘Back to back’ leaves that extend beyond one year in duration will not be approved under normal circumstances. Exceptions must be approved by the Executive Associate Dean prior to applying for the sabbatical or research fellowship.
Applications for research fellowships involving a reduction in teaching load for the period of the fellowship must be approved by the Department Chair prior to the fellowship application, and the restriction on consecutive leaves stated above should be considered at that time.
