Faculty are eligible for sabbatical leave in the seventh academic year after completion of 12 semesters of full-time service at Brandeis. Sabbatical leave is granted by the provost, with the advice of the department chair and the appropriate academic dean, to faculty who have held rank of associate professor with tenure or professor with tenure for at least two semesters of full-time service.
The university offers three retirement options for tenured faculty members over 65.
