The Board of Trustees of Carroll College has implemented a sabbatical leave program for the faculty of Carroll College in order to maintain and improve the faculty's competence as educators and to help afford opportunities for continued education through study, research, and travel. In approving the program for sabbatical leaves, the Board wishes to recognize years of service on the faculty and to encourage senior faculty members to continue their association with the College.

Members of the faculty with tenure and at least seven (7) years of service at Carroll College are eligible to apply for a sabbatical leave of (a) one semester with full compensation; or (b) two semesters with fifty percent compensation; or (c) two semesters with full compensation while teaching half-time. Faculty members may apply, after their first sabbatical, in the sixth year thereafter for a sabbatical in the seventh year; and after each sabbatical, faculty members may apply in the sixth year thereafter for a sabbatical in the seventh year. The number of sabbatical leaves granted in any fiscal year will depend upon budgetary factors and the College's financial ability to meet the need for sabbatical leaves.

The sabbatical program is administered through the office of the President of the College. Faculty members interested in participating in the sabbatical leave program should take cognizance of the following:

The program is open to tenured faculty with at least seven (7) years of service at Carroll College.
