Quarter Break: Faculty Administrative & PTO Schedule
Paid Time Off (PTO) – If a faculty member wishes to schedule PTO during the time when a Quarter is in session, a request for an exception to the PTO policy must be submitted to the Dean or supervisor using the “PTO Exception Request” form at least 30 days prior to the first day off requested. Approval of the Provost is required. Only on a rare occasion will such time be granted.
- Christmas Break
PTO must be taken during extended breaks such as Christmas break because of the automatic closing of the school. There are at least three (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day) paid Holidays during Christmas time.
- Breaks during Other Quarters
Breaks between Quarters other than Christmas are taken from PTO time alone if it extends beyond the administrative/academic allowances. If you chose to come to work during these breaks and not take the specified administrative/academic days, you must have a viable outcome related assignment approved by your Dean and the Provost and the related assignment(s) must be completed by the end of the break or work related assignments can include:
