Sabbatical Leave Request

General Information

• Your proposal must be written so that it can be readily understood by someone outside your field.

• Sabbatical leaves are not normally granted for the sole purpose of course revision or creation of new courses within one's area of specialty.  This is considered to be within the scope of the normal workload.  However, if such activities require significant re-tooling on your part and you also include plans for wider dissemination or presentation of the work to a peer-reviewed audience, your proposal will be considered for a sabbatical leave. 

• Your proposal should be as brief as possible without failing to include all required items.  Please limit your comments accordingly.  Please also limit your proposed activities to those that can reasonably be accomplished within the sabbatical period.  Most candidates can easily accomplish this in fewer than ten pages.

• You must submit this form and your proposal electronically by August 1.

• Your Dean or Associate Dean will submit their letter of support electronically to cao@lynchburg.edu by August 15.

• If your proposal is not submitted by the deadline or it fails to include all of the items listed below, it will not be returned or reviewed by FPC.
