Faculty applications for sabbatical leave can be submitted starting Nov. 1
Tenured faculty members are invited to consider applying for sabbatical leave to be taken during the 2023-24 academic year. Applications can be submitted from November 1, 2022, until February 1, 2023.
Any tenured faculty member who has not taken a sabbatical leave in the past 5 years is eligible to apply for a sabbatical, which is a one- or two-semester release from typical faculty work.
Two types of sabbaticals may be granted:
- Project: The faculty member undertakes specific activities that could involve planned study, research, travel, program or department development, return to industry, or other approved creative work of benefit to the faculty members and to the College.
- Advanced Degree: The faculty member pursues an advanced degree necessary to start or continue the operation of an academic program or department.
- The steps of the sabbatical application process are described in Article 15 of the Cincinnati State AAUP Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Before completing a sabbatical application, faculty members should meet with their dean to discuss the proposed project.
