Accruing Sabbatical credits. Each semester of service at 50%-time or more earns one semester of sabbatical leave credit. A 50% research leave earns a sabbatical leave credit – but a 51% research leave does not. If a leave does not use all your accrued credits, you may request deferral of unused credits toward future leave.
The typical minimum sabbatical leave is one semester at 67% salary; the 44% and 56% levels are used if the faculty member has only 4 or 5 sabbatical leave credits accumulated (see Sabbatical Leave table below).

Leave Project Statement. The final stage of arranging for a sabbatical requires a Leave Statement describing:
1. Brief history of the project, from inception through progress to date and projection as to completion date.
2. Significance of the project as a contribution to knowledge or a particular profession; or as an expected contribution to the applicant's increased effectiveness as a teaching and scholar.
3. Where the project will be carried out and names of authorities, if any, with whom it will be conducted.
4. Assurances of cooperation, or authorization for the project, from individuals, institutions or agencies.
5. Description of all financial support expected during the sabbatical leave, including any fellowship, grant, government-sponsored exchange lectureship, or payment for contract research.
Faculty members may not receive additional compensation while on sabbatical leave except for nominal honoraria or travel reimbursements. However, faculty on sabbatical may receive research funds from UCB sponsored research projects (if they will be working on these projects during the leave). Such “Research Leave” is often used during a partial salary sabbatical to bring the level of salary up to 100% (e.g., a 67% salary sabbatical may be supplemented by 33% salary from ERSO-held funds). Sabbatical pay may also be supplemented up to 100% by a host university when a faculty member is engaged in a research or teaching project furthering the purpose of the leave.
