If a faculty member within the College of Liberal Arts (CoLA) will not be paid from his/her department's Faculty Salaries account, for any period of time, he/she must request a leave or release from the instructional budget.
Requesting leave is NOT necessary under the following circumstances:
The FRL should be completed with all applicable information, faculty signature, and chair signature. If the faculty member has appointments in more than one department, an FRL will be required from each department or one FRL signed by both/all chairs.
NOTE: If you are processing a leave request for a faculty member accepting an FRA, you will need to turn in the faculty member’s FRA Acceptance form together with the Faculty Request for Leave form.
When considering leave requests, chairs should consider impact on course scheduling and availability for students and advise Associate Dean for Academic Affairs if there are problems. You should not forward a leave request to the Dean’s Office until curricular issues are resolved.
Chair or Department uploads fully completed and signed Faculty Request for Leave form (and FRA Acceptance form, as applicable) to the Box Folder below. Form reviewed for completion and compliance.
Deadlines for submitting leave requests to the Dean’s Office are: early April for all Faculty Research Assignment (FRA) accepted for the next academic year; early May for long session or fall only leave; and late October for spring only leaves.
NOTE: If a leave request is submitted after the university deadlines, you will need to provide reason/justification for the delayed request.
