Vacation
Faculty members on regular nine-month appointments accrue no "vacation leave." Time for faculty members to take vacations is available when the University is closed and during the summer when they are not teaching. All weekdays during the academic year (August 16-May 15) are considered to be workdays except when the University is officially closed. Periods when classes are not in session and the University is not closed may be used for meetings, student advising and registration, and other University activities in addition to the professional activities of individual faculty members.
