Reassigned Time Request Form

Every faculty, except department chairs, should fill out this form if they have any time reassigned from teaching. If that reassigned time is from an agreement with another entity or COAS, input how much time is reassigned (e.g. 3 credit hours, .25 FTE, 1 class, etc.) and attach that agreement. Subsequent requests after the first should include a list of accomplishments that were achieved because of previous reassigned time. Fall requests are due no later than May 15. Spring requests are due no later than Oct 15. Direct any questions to the COAS Business Manager.
