Computer Use

As a retiree, you may continue the use of your computer access account. Your continued use of mainframe computer accounts after you retire will be dependent upon your individual department arrangements.

Retired Faculty-Staff Club

The Retired Faculty-Staff Club meets six times a year for the purpose of promoting friendship, affording recreation, furthering the general welfare of the membership, and promoting other interests that may arise. For further information, please visit the Retired Faculty/Staff Club Website.

Faculty-Staff Directory/ Penn State Newswire

Emeritus faculty and staff may subscribe to the Penn State Faculty/Staff Newswire and may be listed in the Faculty-Staff Directory. If you would like to continue to receive the weekly Faculty/Staff Newswire, send an email requesting to do so.

You must renew your directory listing each year by submitting a "Department of University Publications Telephone Directory Adjunct List Information Form", by July 15th. Forms are available by calling (814) 863-1870. To receive a directory each year, you must request it from the department where you worked prior to retirement.

ID Card

You may continue to use your University identification card. For more information, you should review the Penn State id+ website.

Library

All retirees have the same library privileges as active employees. Your University identification card provides all library services.

Parking

Emeritus faculty and staff may buy a monthly permit that allows parking in valid lots with more than 30 spaces. Permits must be purchased from the Parking Office in the 1 Eisenhower Parking Deck. The Parking Office will provide you with more specific information regarding the availability of parking lots.

All retirees may purchase one-day, weekly or monthly permits from the Parking Office. These permits are valid in Orange lots. Additionally, one-day permits for Orange lots may be purchased from the visitors' kiosks located on campus or from the Centre County/Penn State Visitors' Center.

Sports Tickets and Athletic Facilities

Recreational facilities are usable only by those individuals with a valid University student, or faculty/staff/retiree identification care, programmed (where applicable) to allow proper access to such facilities, plus one related guest.  Access to such facilities will only be authorized during the time each facility is specifically designated as being open/available for use.

Department Mail/Office Space

Some departments may provide retirees with a place to receive mail. Providing office space to benefits-eligible retirees is your department or college's decision and is on a space-available basis. There is no University policy on the matter.

It is important that you keep the University and your retirement system informed of your proper mailing address as well as your medical insurance provider and your local Social Security Office. Among the offices you should notify are:
