3.1.5.11.3 Graduate Study Leaves of Absence

(Charter)

1. Leaves are usually taken during summer quarters. Extended leaves may be granted for those pursuing a terminal degree. Among the determining factors in granting such leaves are the faculty member's interest in and capacity for graduate study and the anticipated needs of the University for qualified teaching personnel.

2. Upon return from leave, a faculty member must provide the Chief Academic Officer an official transcript of the graduate study.

3. Unless otherwise specified, faculty receive full salary during the period of graduate study and reasonable time for travel; tuition or travel expense, whichever is the greater; and other allowances according to 3.1.5.12 Financial Policies.
