The Division of Academic Affairs supports telecommuting when the campus determines that telecommuting is operationally feasible and is in the best interest of the University. Such instances for telecommuting work arrangements may be considered when there are opportunities for improved operational performance, or as part of a disaster recovery or emergency plan.
Summer: TBD
Fall and Spring: Applicants may request no more than one telecommuting day, beginning in the fourth week of the semester. See the Academic Calendar for reference.

Policy Information
The University has elected to opt-in to the systemwide CSUEU and APC Telecommuting Agreements. These agreements were negotiated by the Chancellor's Office in partnership with campus leaders, staff, and unions across the CSU system. Telecommuting for MPP and Confidential employees will be managed under the guidelines set forth in the CSUEU Telecommuting Agreement.
