Accrued vacation is to be taken within 24 months of the month in which it is earned. If the vacation is not taken during this period, it is lost, unless the staff member has deferred vacation at the University's request, and it has been documented. University holidays occurring during a vacation period are not counted as vacation days. Serious illness of a staff member occurring during vacation is considered sick leave and is not charged to vacation unless sick leave has been exhausted. Staff members may be required to furnish a written physician's statement.
