Leave of Absence Requests

A leave of absence is an extended leave for employees that cannot work due to a serious health condition, whether physical, mental, or the need to care for a family member.

The FMLA was enacted to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities by allowing them to take reasonable unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons. For employees who are not eligible for FMLA, a non-FMLA medical leave can be considered per School Policy.

If you are in need of a leave of absence, please review the information on this page to better understand the leave process. A minimum 30-day notice should be given to the school whenever a leave of absence is foreseeable.

When you are ready to submit your leave request, please do so by clicking on the "Submit Leave Form" button below and complete the short questionnaire. Once submitted, a member of our Benefits Team will then contact you with next steps.
