C. Leave Request Procedure

Employees taking leave under this policy must submit a written request at least ninety (90) days before the anticipated commencement of the leave. Faculty members should submit their request to their Dean, Provost, and to Human Resources. Staff members should submit their request to their immediate supervisor and to Human Resources. In the case of an emergency or when 90-days notice cannot otherwise be provided, the employee or a member of the employees’ immediate family must notify the Dean and Provost, if faculty, or their immediate supervisor, if staff, and Human Resources. In the event notice is provided verbally, a written leave request should follow the verbal request by no more than five (5) days.
