Leave Without Pay for Non-Medical Reasons
The policy governing Leave without Pay (LWOP) for non-medical reasons has been revised to offer greater flexibility to faculty who need to step away from their regular duties for non-medical reasons.
Key changes and features associated with the implementation of the revised policy include:
- Leave will be counted and tracked in quarter instead of annual increments
- 9-month faculty will be eligible for 6 quarters of consecutive leave; 12-month faculty for 8 quarters
- After reaching the limit, faculty will be expected to return for an entire academic year before requesting another LWOP for non-medical reasons
Visit the OAP Leave Without Pay webpage for the full policy. A revised LWOP request form will be available in September.
