Leave Request for Faculty

Indicates required field

Employee Relations and the Office of Faculty Affairs have roles to play in addressing faculty leave. Different policies apply to the various faculty job classes.

Please visit the following website for policies regarding all leave types: /facultyaffairs/career-milestones/leaves-and-sabbaticals/faculty-leave-information.

Inquiries about faculty leave policies should be directed to the faculty members’ dean’s office for advice on policy and procedures,  since schools and colleges may have varying internal processes for recording and reporting faculty leaves.

After the faculty member consults with their school/college liaison, the liaison will complete this online request on their behalf.

Faculty Liaisons should submit this online request in coordination with the faculty member requesting the following types of Leave of Absence:

  • Faculty Request for Leave of Absence
  • Parental Leave Request for Tenured and Tenure Track faculty

To submit this online request, you will need the following:

  • Name, Email and Rank/Title for all individuals in the faculty member’s school/college that will review and approve the form.  You can select up to 5 signature lines
  • Name, Email, Rank and Employee ID of faculty member requesting leave of absence
  • Sick leave balance of faculty member (if applicable)

NOTE: The parental leave policy for tenured and tenure-track faculty states that within twelve months of the birth or adoption of a child, the primary care-giver may request up to a maximum of one semester’s leave at full pay. No sick leave is used. All untenured faculty will have the timing of their comprehensive and/or tenure reviews delayed by one year. Within the first six months of returning from parental leave, faculty who have not yet undergone comprehensive review may elect to revoke the clock stoppage they were granted for the leave.  Faculty may be reviewed for tenure before the revised tenure date, whenever standards are met.

For further information, please review the  and the campus policy on paid parental leave.

A leave under this policy fulfills the university’s obligations related to the Family Medical Leave (FML) Act. Tenured and tenure-track faculty taking this type of leave must also submit FML forms. Faculty should contact their payroll liaisons or dean’s office for assistance with FML requirements. Contact Human Resources (fmla@colorado.edu) for additional information regarding FML (see: /hr/leave).Ìý
