Release Time Forms

This page provides information regarding how to document the release of faculty/staff from their regular teaching/work assignments to work on special projects.

  • Faculty release time is recorded via the Faculty Release Time Request form located in OnBase.
  • Staff release time is recorded via the hardcopy Staff Release Time form (see link below) and submitted to your AA Analyst as noted on the Academic Affairs Analyst - Area Assignments document.
  • Dean, Associate Dean, Department Chair and Coordinators work assignments are recorded on the hardcopy Administrative Coordinative Time form (see link below) and is submitted to Nancy Hardy in OIREP.

Leaves such as Leave without Pay, Sabbatical etc. should NOT be recorded in this method and rather you should work with HR/Benefits regarding this type of release.
