Sabbatical Applications for 2007-2008 Academic Year

It is time to invite applications for 2008-2009 sabbaticals. For the purpose of this application sabbaticals are defined as Types IA, IB, and II. Type I sabbaticals are competitive and limited in number; CAH will be allocated five for 2008-2009. They can be awarded as either Type IA (one semester at full pay) or Type IB (two semesters at three-quarter pay). Type II sabbaticals are not competitive and involve two semesters at half pay. Applicants seeking a Type I sabbatical should indicate whether they want Type IA or IB and also, in the event this request is not granted, whether they are interested in being considered for a Type II sabbatical.

Individuals wishing to apply for a sabbatical leave must complete the attached application. Failure to comply with the required format may result in the application's disqualification. The application must include the following information:
