Applications for sabbaticals for the 2020-2021 academic year are due along with faculty development plans to faculty members’ respective deans by June 15, 2019. All materials, including the letter from the dean to the provost, are due to the provost’s office by September 1, 2019. Faculty eligible to apply for a sabbatical must have completed seven years of full-time teaching at the University of Portland, or have completed at a minimum an additional seven years of full-time teaching since a previously funded University of Portland sabbatical.
Sabbatical requests are coordinated with departmental planning as well as the individual faculty member’s annual development plan. With careful planning the academic units have been able to take into consideration the needs of both the individual faculty member and the department or school. Additional information about sabbatical leaves can be found on page 50 of the Faculty Handbook.
For more information contact the provost’s office at 7105 or staten@up.edu.
Faculty and staff members who are tasked with updating their departmental and office information in the 2019-2020 University Bulletin need to submit changes to reviewers by Monday, March 11, according to Elise Moentmann, associate provost. Reviewers are typically associate deans. Reviewers then have until Friday, April 1 (three weeks) to go over the changes and decide to submit them for final approval or send them back for revisions.
Course changes and descriptions are handled by the registrar’s office; this deadline is for narrative sections of the Bulletin, for example, program descriptions and requirements. The Smartcatalog tool used to update information can be accessed by going to this link. Access is limited to designated users who have been issued usernames and passwords.
A list of deadlines for Bulletin updates is available here.
