NOTE:听University policy governing parental leave applies to full-time (100%) instructors (Instructor, Senior Instructor, and Principal Instructor ranks) within 12 months of the birth or adoption of a child. 听Leave may be taken for one semester. 听The Boulder campus will provide the first six weeks of paid parental leave to eligible instructors. 听Accrued sick leave may be used to cover the remainder of the semester. 听If there is not enough accrued sick leave to cover the remainder of the semester, an instructor may continue the parental leave for the remainder of the semester at half pay with full benefits. If an instructor is less than 100%, they are still eligible for six weeks of leave, paid at their prorated percent of time and pay.

For further information, please review the听听and the听campus policy on paid parental leave.听

NOTE:听The parental leave policy for tenured and tenure-track faculty states that within twelve months of the birth or adoption of a child, the听primary care-giver听may request up to a maximum of one semester鈥檚 leave at full pay. No sick leave is used. All untenured faculty will have the timing of their comprehensive and/or tenure reviews delayed by one year. Within the first six months of returning from parental leave, faculty who have not yet undergone comprehensive review may elect to revoke the clock stoppage they were granted for the leave. 听Faculty may be reviewed for tenure before the revised tenure date, whenever standards are met.
