Maternity leave is covered through the university's sick leave policy.
For leave purposes, pregnancy is treated as an illness. Notify your supervisor of your condition and your expected delivery time. Keep your supervisor informed of any associated work restrictions as soon as they develop. Work restrictions will require documentation by your doctor explaining the limitation and duration. The Provost Office may assist in funding replacements for faculty members who take maternity leave during the semester.
