June 26, 2023
Faculty, Academic Staff and Limited Appointees with a 12-month appointment have an annual opportunity to bank unused vacation after completing 10 or more fiscal years (July 1 through June 30) of continuous service. The deadline to bank unused vacation allocated in fiscal year 2022-23 is September 30, 2023.
Vacation and carryover balance hours that are eligible to be banked may be viewed beginning July 1. Instructions for viewing your leave balances and banking unused vacation are available in the Banked Leave Conversion Tipsheet.
How Much Vacation Can You Bank?

|---|---|
| First 10 Years | 0 |
| 10+ to 25 Years | 40 |

* The amount of vacation that can be banked is prorated for part-time employees.
