In exchange for 100% salary while on leave, conditions/provisions for study leave do not appear in the Faculty Handbook. Policies and procedures are Faculty/School specific, i.e. Arts & Science, Education, etc. A Faculty Member is normally eligible for a one year leave after six years of continuous service since appointment to the University or since completion of a previous leave, or for a six month leave after three years of continuous service. Study leave is not automatic; rather it is awarded by the Dean upon recommendation of a committee of peers based on the merit of the application. A Member would normally make application for study leave the in the fall semester at the beginning of one’s 2nd year (for half year leave) or 5th year (for full year leave).
Successful applicants are normally notified in December of the year in which application was made and as a result are eligible to apply for Study Leave Relocation Funding through application to the Faculty Association. ULFA automatically sends out information packages and application forms early in January, with a deadline around mid-February. An annual fund total of $35,000 is available to assist Members with the cost of relocating as related to their study leave. Allocations are made based on the recommendation of the Study Leave Relocation Committee that awards funds based on the required criteria. |
