Emeritus Status

According to the , "Upon retirement, any administrative officer or any professional member of the faculty, in accordance with normal faculty review procedures or by approval of the Board of Regents, may be allowed to retain his/her title with the description 'emeritus'." If faculty member is requesting emeritus status, department vote is required. 

  • The Chair will then send a request for emeritus status in a Word document to the Dean with justification. 

    • This request must include the department vote with the number of yeas, nays and abstains. 

  • CAS Faculty Affairs will route final document for approval with copies sent to the Dean and the Office of Faculty Affairs, and to the HRSC for entry.  

  • The effective date will align with the retirement date. 

Faculty who continue to be officially affiliated with the university post-retirement may continue to use university owned computers. 

Tenured or Tenure-Track Faculty on a phased retirement plan may request to be considered for emeritus status at the same time as they notify their Department Chair of their retirement date, or separately.
