Preparing for Retirement

Academic staff considering retirement can obtain pension estimates by accessing the retirement planner available on the UAPP website.

To start the retirement process, a written notification to the President (via department head and dean) should be provided four months prior to the chosen retirement date. A retirement options package for the Universities Academic Pension Plan will be mailed to the retiree approximately one to two months prior to the elected retirement date.

More information regarding preparing for retirement and retirement process can be found in the following documents:
