Sabbatical Leaves

A sabbatical leave is a privilege accorded to qualified faculty to enable them to engage in intensive programs of research and/or study, thus to become more effective teachers and scholars and to enhance their service to the University.


Sabbatical Credit Accrual

Sabbatical credits are accrued at the rate of one credit for each full quarter of service at 50% time or more. Academic-year appointees can earn up to three credits in one year. Credits are not accrued during sabbatical leave, leave without pay and leave with pay for more than one quarter.

Effective Fall 2014, there is no longer an accrual maximum. Additionally, deans will have authority to approve the borrowing of up to one year's sabbatical credit if the faculty member is in good standing and for a compelling reason.

To find out your sabbatical credit balance, please review your UCPath Self-Service Portal record or contact apstaff@math.ucsd.edu.
