Faculty member must initiate the form and must provide all approvers such as Directors of Center, Chair and Dean.  The "Previous Step" and "Next Step" keys should be used when editing the form and moving around in the form.  If there is a need to save and exit and come back to the form later, you can use the "Save and Exit" button and later continue to fill out the form in the draft box.  Originators may monitor the timeliness of approvals via their OutBasket copy.  There are no date-driven deadlines to force the form to the next approver.  Additional approvers may be added before the form is sent to the Chair for approval.  If the Dean will need others in his/her unit to have a copy of Provost-approved form, he/she MUST add them as cc's before the form goes to the Provost. There is no way to route an approved form to people outside the approval process.  If one of the approvers does not recommend positively, the originator may view that recommendation via their OutBasket and the form continues to the next approver.  If the Provost approves or approves with condition, everyone specified as approver or cc's, will be notified via email.  If the Provost approves, rejects, or returns, all approvers and originators are copied on the Provost's decision and will be notified via email.  Begin your Sabbatical Leave Request Form.
