  • Paid for more than 2.5 months during summer? This is what you need to do.
    • Faculty do not accrue vacation at the University of Washington. (University Handbook, Vol. IV, page 30, Chapter 2). Nine-month faculty are paid for nine months' service; 12-month faculty are paid for 11 months service over a 12 month period, with one month available for vacation use. Faculty at the University of Washington do not receive vacation

      Nine-month faculty with summer funding for more than 2.5 months must submit a request letter to the chair,with a copy to Academic Human Resources (acadpers@u.washington.edu), stating that the faculty member acknowledges and willingly provides full-time effort for 3 months and foregoes time off. The intent is that a faculty member doesn't have to give up time off in the summer unless wanting to do so.

      In the letter to the chair, you should indicate the source of the funds and what research they are funding.

      Please include a line to the effect that: you will not be taking any vacation this summer and plan to devote the full three months to work on this (these) project(s).
