General information
Full-time faculty members may request modified instructional duties (MID) for one long session semester (i.e. fall or spring) when certain personal circumstances prevent them from being able to perform their classroom teaching duties, and when such modifications are found to be in the interest of the University's instructional programs. MID is not a leave, does not stop the probationary clock, and modifies the faculty member's normal classroom teaching duties with non-instructional work as outlined in HOP 2-2240 Modified Instructional Duties. MID does not require a Faculty Request for Leave form.
Where justified, a tenure-track faculty member may make a separate request for an extension of the probationary period.
