Emeritus Status
Process
Emeritus status: Deans may request emeritus/a status for retiring full-time faculty members at any rank who have at least 10 years of service at IUPUI (exceptions for length of service can be made).
A request packet consisting of the following items in one combined PDF should be sent to ude[dot]iupui[at]rhdaca:
-
Letter of nomination by the dean.
- Schools may have their own procedures for assessing nominations for emeriti status; this varies by school.
-
A brief biography of the person’s role and contributions at IUPUI. A CV can be included to do this, but the biography is sufficient. The dean's letter can also summarize the role and contributions.
-
Copy of the letter or notice of retirement.
Next:
- The executive vice chancellor approves the recommendation.
- The person who submitted the request will receive an approval email from ude[dot]iupui[at]rhdaca and a copy of the letter of congratulations sent to the faculty member and placed in the School folder for filing.
- The school HR staff will include an admin post of emeritus (for the correct rank) during the 'termination' eDoc process. Emeritus/a status has to be approved by the campus before the termination eDoc is processed and before Trustee approval.
- If the termination eDoc has already been processed, please contact ude[dot]iupui[at]rhdaca for next steps.
- The title will be listed on the next monthly Board of Trustees Administrative Action Report (AAR). It is after this step that final approval is received (no letter generated).
Benefits
A retiree need not qualify for IU Retiree Status to receive emeritus status.
On IU retirement websites, the term "retired" applies solely to those who qualify for IU Retiree status.
Emeritus/a status includes continuing access to IU email, software, and library systems. This is subject to IU software licensing agreements.
- This Knowledge Base webpage (IU Account Types and Eligibility) shows current information. Scroll down to the eligibility grid; scroll over to the right for the notations about "Emeriti faculty."
- IUPUI retirees: The domain "iupui.edu" will be completely de-activated December 2024. Email sent to "xx@iupui.edu" will NOT be forwarded! Ensure you are using "iu.edu" as your email address.
IUPUI/IU-I faculty are encouraged to consider membership in the IUPUI Senior Academy.
The Emeriti House is located in Bloomington but its activities are open to all IU emeriti faculty.
