Faculty Development Leaves

Sabbaticals

Eligible faculty members may request development leaves to spend time away from the University in order to focus more intently on significant work already in progress or pursue new studies, investigations, research, scholarly writing or artistic projects.

Discussion of single semester and sabbatical leaves must be in concert with your program coordinator and the department chair.

• CEHD memo: Faculty Professional Development Leaves in 2024-2025

• CEHD Guidelines for Faculty Professional Development (Sabbatical) Leaves

  • Ed Psych Addendum to CEHD Sabbatical Guidelines

  • Faculty Development Leaves Policy (applications in Forms/Instructions)

  • CEHD Sabbatical Supplement Application - at this time the availability of the supplement program is uncertain for future years.

Directions

If interested in a sabbatical, fill out the Form: CEHD criteria for approving sabbatical leaves as used by Ed Psych. If approved, the Chair will send Form 6 to fill out.

For sabbaticals or single semester leaves, please fill out this form for the Department of Educational Psychology in addition to the CEHD leave forms (referenced in the memo above). The approval process set by the CEHD at the departmental level requires the information gathered on this form in addition to the CEHD leave forms. Once the leave is reviewed and approved, these forms will be sent to CEHD Dean's Office as a set. Discussion of single semester and sabbatical leaves must be in concert with your program coordinator and the department chair.

Visit the CEHD Human Resources site for more information.

If you have questions related to development leaves, please contact: Rochelle Hammer, department administrator or the Department Chair
