Sabbatical cases are created by the college case manager for each eligible faculty or supportive professional staff member who intends to apply.
Interfolio Sabbatical Resources for Case Managers
Administrative staff who are responsible for moving a sabbatical case either backward or forward after a committee has finished reviewing.
Case Managers have the ability to create new cases and edit cases at their unit. They can manage case-level settings and committees, view case details and packet materials, and view all closed cases at their level in the hierarchy.
Case Managers cannot manage templates, view reports, or change account settings.

Case Manager Frequently Asked Questions
Individuals must complete the sabbatical intent to apply form.
The Office of the Provost provides colleges with a list of faculty and supportive professional staff who are both eligible for sabbatical and have submitted the intent to apply form. College case managers should use this list to create sabbatical application cases in Interfolio.
All sabbatical cases must be created using the Sabbatical Leave template, which is standardized and used across all colleges.
Do not attempt to manually modify the case structure. Contact the NIU Interfolio Team (interfolio@niu.edu) for assistance with correcting the template.
Cases should be created after the intent to apply list is finalized and shared by the Office of the Provost, and in alignment with the published sabbatical application timeline.
In general, cases should only be created for individuals included on the official list provided by the Office of the Provost. If there are exceptions, consult with the Office of the Provost before creating the case.
Once a case has moved forward in the review process, edits are typically restricted. Any exceptions should follow college or Academic Affairs guidance and be documented appropriately.
First, confirm that the correct template was used and that all required sections are visible. If the issue persists, contact the NIU Interfolio Team (interfolio@niu.edu ) for support.
