Faculty Course Release or Release Time Form The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and Research Services have developed an updated version of the Faculty Course Release or Release Time Form that now accepts electronic signatures. This form, which is posted online along with other grant forms, is to be used when full-time faculty are released from their regularly assigned courses or other duties so that they may perform grant-related work and should be submitted prior to the period for which released time is requested. This form is NOT to be used for faculty compensation during the summer. A faculty summer contract is needed for that purpose.
