The 2025–26 University-Wide Sabbatical Leave Committee welcomes applications for sabbatical. The current application process pertains to leave terms during the 2027–28 academic year. Applications are due by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, March 2, 2026. 

Instructions

  1. Download and read the Guidelines for Sabbatical Leave, which is available via the link below. You may also wish to consult Article 18 of the current CBA.
  2.  Search for the Promotion, Sabbatical, and Tenure card in MyIUP. Click the sabbatical application link to access SoftDocs, where the application is housed.
  3. Complete the application web form, then attach your proposal and supporting materials as two separate PDF documents. You can combine and compress PDFs using Adobe Acrobat.
  4. Submit the application, then check your email for a confirmation message. If it fails to arrive, contact John Levey (jlevey@iup.edu) or submit an ihelp ticket. 

Important

SoftDocs forms may be saved as drafts, but the process to retrieve them is not self-evident. The committee recommends that you begin the submission process when you have time to complete the web form in its entirety.

In SoftDocs, there is a maximum attachment size of 10 MB. If the PDF that contains your supporting materials exceeds this size, consider abridgment. If you must submit a file larger than 10 MB, contact John Levey (jlevey@iup.edu) for instructions.
