Arrange for Substitute

Our goal is to maintain a vibrant academic institution where students are consistently engaged in learning while prioritizing our faculty’s health and professional goals.

If you are planning a pre-arranged absence, including Temporary Duty Elsewhere (TDE) complete the Faculty Leave Application and email the form to sub@pky.ufl.edu in the Business Office.

Your leave balances are available at my.ufl.edu (Main Menu>My Self Service>Payroll and Compensation>UF Leave History).  Heather Robinson will notify you if your leave balance is low.
