Parental Leave Policy for Faculty

In the event of childbirth, a full-time faculty member may apply for one of the following work arrangements by completing the below form and submitting to the Office of the Dean of the Faculty:

  1. Full pay for the period of disability for the mother (6 weeks under normal circumstances) and unpaid leave of absence for the remainder of the semester.  The mother and physician under these circumstances must complete disability papers obtained from Human Resources.

OR

  1. Alternate work arrangement mutually agreed upon by the faculty member, department chair and the Dean of the Faculty, which will normally result in a one-course release for the employee (limited to one parent if both are employed by the College) for the semester prior to, during, or after birth with no reduction in salary.

In the event of adoptions, one parent can apply for option two.  Both options are covered by full benefits.
