(b) Vacation Leave
All full-time faculty members on a ten-month, eleven-month, or twelve-month assignment basis shall be entitled to twenty-two (22) working days of vacation leave with pay per assignment period. With prior administrative approval, faculty members may take vacation leave at appropriate times during the period in which they are eligible to take such leave; however, each faculty member shall be in actual attendance at least until after Commencement and until all reports have been made, and at least three (3) days prior to the first day of registration for the fall semester, unless for special reason leave is approved. Vacation leave shall be taken in the assignment period in which it is earned, or the vacation leave shall be forfeited, normally cannot be accumulated from one assignment period to another, except that a faculty member on a twelve month assignment basis may take vacation leave either during the assignment period in which the vacation leave is earned or during the subsequent assignment period. Under unusual circumstances, provided it is in the best interest of the University and has advance approval by the Provost, a faculty member on a ten month or an eleven month assignment basis also may take unused vacation leave during the assignment period following that in which the vacation leave was earned. Pay for unused vacation leave shall be limited to a maximum of twenty two (22) days at the end of employment.
More detailed information on faculty vacation leave is provided in the Administrative Regulations (AR II-1.1-7).
