Volunteer Administrative Leave

All classified employees are eligible for administrative leave. Effective January 1, 2000, the State Personnel Rules and Procedures requiring that administrative leave be granted for participation in tests and interviews for state positions were revised to provide appointing authorities the discretion to grant this type of administrative leave. The Department of Human Resources (HR) recommends that employees be given administrative leave to participate in assessment activities and interviews.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The University of Colorado Boulder will earn a total of 3.2 out of 5 possible points for the two-part Community Service credit (EN 12). Part 1 requires 100% participation from students engaging in community service to receive full credit. CU is currently at 40.5% participation. This high standard is preventing CU from achieving a higher score in this credit section. Part 2 requires an average of 20 hours of community service per student annually. CU is currently receiving 118 hours of community service per student annually. Full points for Part 2 are achieved.

The data was extrapolated from the 2013 Frequencies and Statistical Comparisons survey conducted by the NSSE (national survey of student engagement).
