Faculty Retirement and Resignation

Academic unit chairs and staff should reference the Office of Faculty Administrative Services (OFAS) for information on faculty separation and retirement and offboarding processes. Refer to the FAS chart of required documents for the necessary materials to be sent to OFAS.

Retirement

Refer to the Yale Faculty Handbook (section XXII) for details on retirement and emeritus/emeriti titles.

Faculty members retiring from Yale should contact Employee Services to determine eligibility for retiree benefits.

The university offers a faculty phased retirement plan for eligible tenured ladder and certain term-limited faculty members. Interested faculty should contact Employee Services to schedule an appointment with a counselor.

Resignation

Tenured ladder faculty or faculty resigning earlier than their term appointment end date must provide a resignation letter to their academic unit chair and staff containing the anticipated last day of work.
