ASU retirement eligibility

Be at least age 50 or age 41 if you are a Public Safety Personnel Retirement System member.
Complete at least five years of continuous, full-time employment in the Arizona University System immediately preceding retirement.
Not have been involuntarily terminated from employment by the university for cause.
Receive a retirement pension or distribution under an Arizona university-sponsored mandatory retirement program.

Communicate your intent to retire with the school director, Heather Landes. It is helpful to plan as far in advance as you are comfortable, to aid the school in planning for your departure. If you are eligible and wish to request Emeritus status, please do so when communicating your retirement date.
- If you’re on an academic contract, regardless of pay schedule, your retirement date will be May 15 when retiring during spring semester. For December retirements, please work with the school APA contact, Adrienne Goglia, to determine your proposed last day.
- If you’re a fiscal contract, you may finish your contract out through June 30 or earlier if you choose.
Register for a retirement meeting.

In your final semester at ASU before retirement, consider the following items that need to be addressed before the end of your contract.

Start thinking about a game plan to clear your office. In some cases, that may mean you start organizing or cleaning sooner than the end of the semester. Our goal is to have the space as empty and clean as an apartment would be when you move out. All cupboards, drawers and cabinets must be emptied. Communicate with the Business Office to determine your final date for access to your office.
Keys, laptops and any other ASU property must be returned to the Music, Dance and Theatre Business Office (E177). All physical items purchased with university funds remain the property of ASU and must remain in your office upon departure (including items purchased with startup funding).
