NYU Sabbatical Eligibility
Tenured faculty are eligible for sabbatical leave after six years of service at NYU. A sabbatical may be taken as one year at 3/4 pay or one semester at full pay. Subsequently, faculty are eligible for a one semester sabbatical at 3/4 pay following six semesters of service. If the six semesters of service are "banked" in order to accrue twelve semesters of service, a faculty member then becomes eligible again for one academic year at 3/4 pay or one semester at full pay. As with all leaves, the timing of the sabbatical must be approved by the relevant department chair.
NYU Faculty Handbook
The NYU Faculty Handbook describes the organization and functioning of the University, as well as the responsibilities of full-time faculty.
Administrative Planning, Policies, and Procedures
The Arts and Science Policies and Procedures web site describes policies and procedures for several important processes, including assessment of faculty, third year reviews, promotion and tenure, and applying for leaves. GAP procedures are consistent with and complementary to University policies and procedures found in the NYU Faculty Handbook and elsewhere.
Faculty Research Funds
The Faculty Research Fund is an annual allocation that may be made to individual faculty members to support their research and scholarship. Only the Dean of the Faculty, or the Dean of the College or Graduate School, or a Divisional Dean may authorize a Faculty Research Fund.

Faculty Appointments in More than One Unit
Appointments of faculty to more than one unit are increasingly common in the academy and at NYU in particular. At NYU there are three types of cross appointments (Affiliated, Associated, and Joint) which range from informal cooperation to formal shared appointments with salary and duties divided between two units.
- Affiliated
- Associated
- Joint
Here is a chart that highlights the differences to the above appointments.
