Sabbatical

Sabbatical applications will open on
Wednesday, October 30th, 2024.

Sabbatical leave is a privilege that is intended to benefit both Austin Community College (ACC) and the employee. Sabbatical recipients are recommended by a committee of faculty, professional-technical staff, classified staff, and administrators. The College Chancellor has final approval of sabbaticals for staffing table employees.

Sabbatical leave may be granted for the purpose of personal and/or professional improvement, which will, in turn, benefit the College, through activities such as formal and informal study, acquisition of new skills, or keeping abreast of new technologies, research, and community service.

Note: Sabbatical leave may be granted to staffing table employees who have worked full-time for ACC for at least six (6) consecutive years. To read additional information regarding conditions under which Sabbatical leave is granted, please visit Guidelines/Procedures for AR 4.0502.07.1 Sabbatical Leave.

Sabbatical applications for sabbatical leave* to be taken in FY26 are due on January 31st, 2025. The fiscal year begins on September 1 and ends on August 31 annually.

*Sabbatical leave is taken in the fiscal year after the application year. That is, if a sabbatical leave application is requested in January of FY25, it is for leave which will occur in FY26.
