The Institution does not normally grant short leaves of absence for faculty personnel. In unusual or emergency situations, leaves are authorized either with or without pay. To apply for leave, it is necessary to prepare and execute a Leave Approval Form that is available through Administrative Services. To ensure that salary is not deducted if the leave is with pay, it is necessary for the faculty member to make up the time lost or to make some commitment to the Institution. The immediate supervisor is responsible for and must verify that the time and/or responsibilities are completed.
