Sabbatical Application

2025-2026 Sabbatical Leave of Absence

Please read this set of guidelines and advice: Sabbatical tips: Advice for Faculty Preparing for Sabbatical Leaves.

Before you begin this application, you must discuss your project plans and outcomes with your department chair. Once you have submitted your application, your chair (or if you are the chair, your academic dean) will receive a task in workday to complete the Chair Endorsement Form. Chair Endorsement Forms are due by September 28, 2024.

Applications are considered incomplete until all reports from previous internal funding have been submitted. Please use the "create request" feature in workday and follow the instructions. (If you have questions, please contact the Office of the Dean for Faculty Development and Research Initiatives.)

To complete a sabbatical application, go to workday and in the search bar, type "request leave of absence". Here is a job aid to assist you.
