Hiring Faculty Professors

The Board of Governors at the University of Calgary allows retired members of the academic staff to be appointed as “Faculty Professors”. In making these appointments, the university provides a means whereby important and productive research, scholarship and creative activity can be continued, on a selective basis, beyond the date of a professor’s retirement. The following policies and procedures codify and clarify the practices used for the appointment of Faculty Professors since this category of appointment was originally introduced by the Board of Governor’s in 1994.

Refer to the Policies and Procedures for the Appointment of Faculty Professors document for more detailed information.
