2024-2025 Sabbatical Leave
The Sabbatical Leave Program provides one and two semester leaves to eligible faculty members to undertake projects of academic significance to themselves and their departments or units. Faculty are not required to be in attendance at the University during a sabbatical leave. The Program is administered by the Dean’s Office of Arts and Sciences for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. This year, faculty may submit the application through DocuSign or through the PDF version.

Please note: Faculty eligible for faculty leaves must also receive approval by their Department Chair and Dean. Typically, approval is based on the teaching needs of the department and overall budget. If you have questions regarding sabbatical or competitive leave, please feel free to contact Maria Buckley at maria.buckley@rutgers.edu, (856) 225-2951 or your Department Chair. Also, before submitting your application to the Dean’s Office for final approval and processing, the Department Chair endorsement must be included.
2024-2025 Non-Instructional Assignment Application and Instructions
While the University continues not to permit “terminal sabbatical” agreements, the University and the AAUP-AFT have negotiated an agreement which provides faculty with a paid one- or two-semester Non-Instructional Assignment, which is a research assignment where faculty devote all their time and effort towards an approved research project. Upon completion of that Non-Instructional Assignment, the faculty member is not required to return to University service for a period of time equal to the length of the Non-Instructional Assignment. Eligible, full-time AAUP-AFT faculty (but not including AAUP-AFT faculty formerly represented by the AAUP-BHSNJ) may apply for a Non-Instructional Assignment. If approved, faculty will be allowed to concentrate on a research project of academic significance to themselves and their departments or schools/units in their assigned field of study for one or two semesters at 100% of their base salary (while not being required to resume their duties at the University following such assignment).
