Vacation Days

Full-time faculty are entitled to twenty paid vacation days per academic year. Beginning with the anniversary date marking the twenty-fifth year of full-time employment, the entitlement for full-time faculty increases to twenty-five paid vacation days per year.

Faculty who are hired after the beginning of the academic year will be eligible for a prorated number of vacation days during that year.

Unused vacation days cannot be carried over from one academic year to the next. Unused vacation days are not payable upon termination.

Scheduling of vacation is at the discretion of the department chair. Faculty should submit vacation requests sufficiently in advance to their respective department chair or designee that each request can be confirmed to be consistent with the department’s academic schedule and teaching, clinical, research and administrative responsibilities.
