Leaves of absence may be granted to employees
who wish to continue formal education in fields related to their
work at the Institution. A leave of absence may be granted by
a Department Chair or Administrative Manager for periods of
up to one year. It may be renewed each year up to a maximum
of four years, provided that the student is maintaining satisfactory
grades and requests the renewal in writing. A copy of the latest
transcript must be attached to the request for renewal and forwarded
to Human Resources. An educational leave of absence implies
no commitment for reemployment by the Institution.
