Retired faculty members are encouraged to continue to be involved with the University’s intellectual and cultural life, and the Regents have instituted policies that give faculty a wide range of retirement benefits and options that make a continuing relationship possible. U-M retiree ID cards enable retired faculty and staff to take advantage of many of the privileges available as active employees.

Opportunities available to retired faculty may include:

• Assistance through the Faculty and Staff Counseling and Consultation Office (FASCCO)
• Temporary employment
• Purchase athletic tickets
• Access to recreation sports facilities
• Library privileges
• Computing services
• Some parking privileges
• Ability to join U-M retiree organizations

Additional opportunities may be available to retired faculty to whom the Regents award emeritus/emerita status. See SPG 201.80 about “Emeritus/Emerita Status.”

See the benefits website for more retirement information.
