Title 3335 - Ohio State University
Chapter 3335-5 - Faculty Members In General
Section 3335-5-08 - Absence from duty

Absence of any member of the faculty from ordinary service in the university, for any cause other than sickness, must be with the knowledge and approval of their chair or director and of the dean of the college, or, in the case of faculty assigned to a regional campus, the dean and director of that campus. Absences longer than ten consecutive business days, must also be approved by the executive vice president and provost. Sick leave is granted on approval of the appropriate administrative official when notification is given as soon as practicable, presumably on the first day of absence.
