A detailed, specific plan must be submitted by the applicant and approved by the Salary and Leaves Committee as likely to improve the applicant’s teaching effectiveness, strengthen the College’s academic program, or otherwise bring a clear benefit to students. In addition, sabbaticals for independent study must generate tangible products of use to students.

Faculty members supervising independent study experiences will be compensated at the rate of $185 per credit hour for each student they supervise. Normally, faculty are limited to mentoring no more than two students per semester in any combination of these courses.
