Faculty members must notify the appropriate Chair as early as possible in the event of an absence.  The class should not be dismissed; therefore, the faculty member should have an alternative assignment. Notices should be posted on Blackboard as soon as possible and any posted notices regarding canceled class(es) should be printed on institutional letterhead.

Full-time faculty must complete the required paperwork for unplanned sick leave as soon as he or she returns to work.  For all other absences, appropriate forms must be submitted prior to the absence.  Sick leave is not provided for adjunct faculty.
