Sick Days

Full-time faculty are allocated 30 days of paid sick time per academic year. Unused sick time may be carried over from year to year to a maximum accrual of 90 days (“banked” sick days).

Sick leave is intended to be used only in cases of personal illness or injury. It may not be considered as extra vacation time, nor can vacation time be extended because of short-term illness that may occur after a vacation has started.

Faculty who need to take time off for a personal illness/injury will have one day deducted from the accrued sick time for each of the first five days absent. If a faculty member requires more than five consecutive days off, a Medical Leave of Absence will apply.
