34.10 Requests for scheduling vacation shall be submitted in writing to the appropriate administrator at least thirty (30) days in advance. The scheduling of vacation may also arise from the needs of the institution. Vacations shall be taken as authorized by the President.

According to the Unit 7 CBA, January 31, 2018 – June 30, 2020:
14.9 Based upon the operational needs of the campus, vacation schedules shall be determined by the appropriate administrator. Vacations shall be scheduled and taken only as authorized by the appropriate administrator. If a conflict in vacation requests arises, the appropriate administrator shall give consideration to the employee(s) with the most seniority, provided that operational needs are met.
Once approved in writing, vacations shall not be rescinded without the mutual consent of the employee and the appropriate administrator, except in cases of emergency as determined by the appropriate administrator.
In all cases the appropriate administrator shall respond in writing, either approving or denying the request. The response shall be provided as soon as possible, but no later than fourteen (14) days after the submission of the employee’s written request. If the appropriate administrator has not provided a response to an employee’s vacation request within fourteen (14) days, the employee may elevate his or her request to the next level appropriate administrator. The next level appropriate administrator shall respond in writing, either approving or denying the request. The response shall be provided as soon as possible, no later than seven (7) days after employee’s elevation of the request.
Requests with less than thirty (30) days’ notice for vacation shall be submitted in writing to the appropriate administrator who will determine whether or not to approve or deny the request based on the operational needs of the campus. Submission with less than thirty (30) days’ notice shall not, by itself, be a basis for denying the vacation request. If the request requires an immediate determination, then the decision may be communicated orally to the employee, and thereafter confirmed in writing within seven (7) days of the date of the oral response.
