Teachers’ Sabbatical Studies Program

Kingsborough Community College (KCC) continues to be the college choice for public school teachers on sabbatical leave. Many are acquiring computer literacy; others are learning new languages; still others are enrolled in art, music and literature courses. We welcome your interest in attending KCC and ensure you
personalized student services as a professional. Please act now to best affect admission to the college for the upcoming semester.

1.    Who is eligible for sabbatical?
∗ KCC and the City University do not establish/determine or approve sabbatical study or course requests. Please contact the Department of Education (D.O.E) for sabbatical details and guidelines.        
Currently all course work must be pre-approved by your local Learning Instructional Supervisor (L.I.S.).

2.   Reasons for choosing to attend KCC for sabbatical study. 
∗ The fall (12 weeks) semester ends before the December holidays, and our spring semester (12 weeks) does not begin until late February or early March. You may also choose to continue to study during the 6 week winter/summer sessions.

Note: Subject to the D.O.E teachers’ sabbatical guidelines and approval, you may be permitted to satisfy your fall credit requirements by combining course work in the fall session A and winter session B; this may also be applicable to the spring session A/summer session B.

∗ A beautiful, secure campus with a research library and available on-campus parking (fee required). In addition, our unique location provides recreational facilities, including a beach.

∗ A knowledgeable and helpful staff.

∗ Lower tuition costs with flexible study options (subject to availability).

∗ Lower student to faculty ratios and credentialed professors who lead stimulating, rigorous and challenging courses.

∗ You will be in college classes with the general study body.

∗ You will be treated as a colleague and a professional.

∗ Come explore, meet new friends and “recharge” as a professional.

   3.What are my study options?

 ∗ Although KCC’s students do enroll as degree or non-degree students, based on our Understanding of D.O.E. guidelines, you are required to apply as a non-degree student. The college  application fee and documents you are required to submit are determined by a student’s degree/non- degree status.

Federal/State financial aid availability is based on a student’s enrollment status, individual income and family circumstances (see college expects for specifics, room U201, telephone # 718 368-4644).
