Procedure

Three (3) days of personal leave may be granted to nine (9) month faculty during each fiscal year. Up to two consecutive days of leave may be taken fall or spring semester for a maximum total of three days per year.  One (1) additional day of personal leave will be granted to 12 month faculty for use during summer term.

Personal leave may be awarded if the following conditions are met:

1. in the opinion of the department head/Dean, classes will be adequately covered; and
2. approved by the appropriate department head and Academic Dean.

Personal leave examples are:

• Family Involvement
• Community Service

Since these personal leave days should be planned in advance, class coverage and leave approval should be discussed with and approved by department head/Dean prior to leave being taken.

Personal leave should not be used during peak periods such as advising, registration or graduation.

Personal leave will not accumulate annually and cannot be paid out.
