Welcome to the guide dedicated to assisting Rutgers faculty emeriti with their continued access to the resources of Rutgers University Libraries, whether for research or pleasure.
Status: Who Qualifies?
- Rutgers University Policy 60.5.3: Other Academic Titles and Definitions of Academic TitlesProfessor Emeritus/a is a title restricted to persons who retire after having served in a full-time professorial capacity at this University ten years or more, or as a full professor at this University for at least five years, plus a sufficient number of years in a professorial capacity in another accredited university or college to make a total of at least ten years. [Section I.B]
If you believe you qualify for emeritus/a status, please verify your status with the department from which you retired.
Retiree ID Card
"Upon retirement, Retirees will receive a letter from University Human Resources (UHR) explaining how to get a Retiree RU ID card. Retiree RU ID cards can only be issued once this letter is presented from University Human Resources."
- RU ID Information for Retirees and GuestsScroll down to the middle of the page to find detailed information on how to obtain a Retiree RU ID card.
Verification for Library Use
Verification of your status as "Faculty Emeritus/a" takes place between the Rutgers retiree office and the Access Services department at Rutgers University Libraries. Once your status has been verified, and you have provided your NetID, Access Services will enable your library privileges for 5 years. This will not only allow you the same borrowing and interlibrary loan privileges as current faculty, but also off campus access to databases, electronic books, journals, and other restricted resources.
After 5 years, but prior to the expiration of your account, you should receive an email regarding renewal.
