Common use of Academic Study Clause in Contracts

Academic Study. The requirement in this category is a minimum of six semester (or 9 quarter) units of coursework per semester of leave. If the sabbatical leave is for a combination of academic work and other approved work, the number of units taken may vary in proportion to the other components of the sabbatical leave assignment. An academic study proposal should indicate where coursework is to be taken, in which disciplines, and in what courses. If the exact courses usually offered are not available, indicate that the necessary units will be taken from a list depending on scheduling. If there is some doubt about which institutions you will attend, you should list the two or three institutions in which you plan to enroll. The clearer and more specific you can be, the better your proposal will be understood. Upon your return to service, you will be required to include evidence of your sabbatical leave work as part of your report.
