Departments' information

Faculty and staff members assigned to your department, school or college may request one of the following types of leaves:

  • A continuous leave of absence if they must be absent from work for more than three consecutive workdays,
  • An intermittent leave of absence if they must miss work on an intermittent basis due to an on-going personal or immediate family member’s medical condition.

A leave of absence may be categorized as one or more of the following types of leaves:
