The staff member must give written notice to the chair, director or dean as soon as possible, and not later than 60 days prior to the term during which the leave will begin, to allow adequate planning for teaching replacements. The notification should be accompanied by a medical certificate stating the anticipated due date of the birth of the child or arrival date in case of adoption. The chair must submit the request to the Dean, who submits it to the Provost.
All maternity & parental leaves for tenure-track or tenured academic staff are granted under the authority of the Board of Governors and must be confirmed by a letter signed by the Provost.
