Hi, everyone,
I’m pleased to share that the sabbatical leave review process has been updated to provide a clearer application and evaluation pathway for faculty. The revised materials include a more detailed guide with specific guidance and examples, along with a clear rubric so you know exactly how applications will be evaluated.
You can access all updated materials, including the new guide, application, and timeline, on the Provost’s Publications & Information page at the Sabbatical Leave Website.
We’re sending this now because we know many of you use the summer to work on applications and professional plans. We want to make sure you have the most current materials in hand before that work begins.
If you are considering applying for sabbatical leave for Summer/Fall 2027 or Spring 2028, please note that requests are due to your department chair by September 18, 2026. The full timeline is available here: /academicaffairs/files/2026/06/SLRC-Timeline-2026-2027.pdf
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the process or the updated materials.
Best,
Michael
