By March 15 each year, the Human Resources Office will provide the academic deans with the names of the faculty members eligible to apply at the beginning of the Fall semester. The deans then send a notice to each eligible person as a reminder, offering assistance in refining plans and indicating sources of relevant information. 

If a Fulbright or other comparable competitive scholarly grant is being sought separate from a sabbatical leave, the faculty member must ensure that the grant award will not be made for the year prior to a sabbatical nor the year immediately following a sabbatical (as specified in Section 2.30.4.C.).

All applications for sabbatical leave must be submitted through the electronic system via the sabbatical website.
