Faculty Leaves (Scholarship and Creative Work)

The university provides full-time members of the faculty with various kinds of leave for research and other academic purposes. General terms for Fellowship Leaves (sabbatical) and Scholar Incentive Awards may be found in Article 25 of the PSC-CUNY Contract and Code of Practice Regarding Instructional Staff Academic Leaves from CUNY Office of Human Resources Management (OHRM).

Fellowship Leave

Fellowship Leaves are available for research (including study and related travel), improvement of teaching, and creative work in literature and the arts.

The full-pay, one-semester Fellowship Leave is competitive and only one such leave is awarded per year. Applicants who are not chosen for the full-pay leave will be given the opportunity to re-submit their application to be considered for the standard 80 percent leave.
