Sabbatical

Executive Memorandum B-11, dated November 16, 1984, provides detailed regulations for sabbatical leaves of absence.

Any tenured member of the University faculty of professorial rank is eligible for consideration for sabbatical leave. Normally, only full-time service at professorial rank (excluding summer sessions for academic-year faculty members) is counted for eligibility for sabbatical leave. Exceptions may be granted by the president of the University or his designee when it is in the best interest of Purdue University.

Sabbatical leave for academic-year faculty members may be granted:

a) After a minimum of six semesters of
service, one semester at half pay.
b) After a minimum of 12 semesters of
service, one semester at full pay to
two semesters at half pay with pay
rate adjusted proportionally for
intermediate periods.

Sabbatical leave for fiscal-year faculty members may be granted:

a) After a minimum of three years of
service, six months at half pay.
b) After a minimum of six years of service, six months at full pay to one year at half pay with pay rate adjusted proportionally for intermediate periods of time.

When it is in the best interest of the University as determined by the president (or the president’s designee), the sabbatical may be split. However, the sabbatical from beginning to end must be completed within 18 months and cannot exceed in total the above time limits.
