Welcome Members!
Over the course of retirement, being a member of the UBC Emeritus College takes on different values over time. We’re here to help you create the retirement from transition to being a long-standing member.
Employees of the University who retire or resign while holding tenured appointment as a Professor, Professor of Teaching, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Senior Instructor or a confirmed appointment as a General Librarian, Administrative Librarian, Program Director, Clinical Professor, or Clinical Associate Professor. There are no exclusions.
To be eligible for emeritus status, an individual must:
- Have a combined age at retirement/resignation plus years of full-time service to the University of 70 or more;
- Have held a full-time tenured position at the rank of Professor, Professor of Teaching, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor or Senior Instructor. Librarians and Program Directors must have held a Confirmed appointment; and
- Not be retiring from the University in order to take up a faculty appointment in another university. If an individual is retiring or resigning from the University in order to take up such appointment, he or she may be considered for emeritus status once he or she has retired or resigned from that or any other such subsequent appointment.
