Sabbatical Leave

Sabbatical Leave, a leave of absence not to exceed one academic year, is part of the total professional growth program and should consist of study and/or research or return to industry or business for the purpose of improvement of the individual's contribution to the District.

Please complete the Sabbatical Leave Request Form and Sabbatical Leave Proposal, and submit them—along with the Sign-Off page—to your Department Chair, your college’s Vice President of Academic Affairs, and the College President. 

Submission Deadlines

  • March 15: For sabbatical leave during the following academic year or fall semester only
  • May 15: For sabbatical leave during the following spring semester only

These deadlines may be waived by the District if timely application is delayed due to procedures required by other institutions or governmental agencies.

*A “Certificate of Health" signed by physician must accompany your Sabbatical Leave application 
(Article XIII, Q.3.d)​

**Sabbatical Leave Bond - Bond documents must be submitted by August 1 for fall semester only and the following academic year, and no later than January 30 for spring semester only. (Article XIII, Q.4.f)

Prior to the beginning of your leave, it will be necessary that you provide a suitable bond indemnifying the District against loss in the event that you fail to render a period of service in the District, which is equal to twice the period of the leave, immediately following your leave.
