Tenured faculty members may apply for a sabbatical for every seven years of full time service. In the submission online system below, you will find a list of materials needed for an application. Applications start within schools, are reviewed at the campus level, and then approved by the Board of Trustees.
One person from each school should submit a list of tenured faculty and librarians intending to apply for sabbatical leave in the 2023-24 academic year and/or the person who will be representing your school in the Sabbatical Leaves Committee meeting in late January.
Submit your candidates and committee representative
Due: Friday, October 14, 2022
Deans, submit the name of your school reviewer to ude[dot]iupui[at]aacvas by October 14, 2022. The committee will meet on January 23, 2023. The school reviewer must be able to attend this meeting.
When faculty members apply for a sabbatical leave, simultaneous emails will be sent to the dean and department chair (if applicable) to approve or deny the request and to upload your letter of approval. These emails contain the entire list of requested materials from the faculty members. (Dean and chair names are auto-loaded but individual faculty can change them.)
The deans will be expected to upload the school committee review letter, if one is necessary.
Proxies can be assigned to approve or deny sabbatical leave requests on behalf of the dean and chair. Make sure your proxies are up-to-date.
The following materials are needed for the campus application. Submit completed applications after you have followed any in-school processes. Deans and chairs will get an automatic email sent to them to upload their own approval letter after you submit your application.
Travel in 2022-23 is contingent on IU Policy. Sabbatical Leave would not be considered essential travel.
Due: Wednesday, November 9, 2022*
*Applications received after this date will not be considered unless the dean requests special consideration and documents extenuating circumstances. Be sure to check your own school's procedures and deadlines.
You should hear back from the Sabbatical Leave Committee in early February on whether your application has been approved or denied.
Faculty and librarians are required to submit a sabbatical leave report.
Due: Within three months of returning from a sabbatical leave.
The report is to be reviewed and signed by the department chair and school dean before submitting to the Office of Academic Affairs.
Submitted sabbatical applications are reviewed by the IUPUI Sabbatical Leaves Review Committee and the chief academic officer. All applicants receive preliminary notification of the campus level decision in early spring. Final letters will be sent after approval of the Board of Trustees at the April meeting.
