Personal Leaves

To request personal leave, including Educational Leave and Leave without Pay, faculty or A/P staff should submit a memo to their unit director via email, for further review and consideration by their dean's office.

Written requests must include all relevant information in support of the leave request:

• type of request;
• reason for the request (with letter of support, if applicable);
• beginning date of request; and
• end date of request.

Upon review by the dean, a request for approval should be submitted to the Associate Provost for Academic Administration (via email to pvcsabbatical@siu.edu), which includes the employee's request and recommendation memos from the director and dean. For faculty, one or both of the recommendation memos should include information regarding how the school/unit will cover the faculty member’s absence.

All personal leave requests require approval at the Provost level. The Provost will issue a formal decision to the dean after the determination has been made.

Personal leave requests are accepted for review year-round.
