Office and Work Space
An emeritus faculty member may continue to engage in productive scholarship and creative activities noting their affiliation with the university in such activities. Whenever possible, with annual review and approval by the Academic Dean, the university, upon request may allocate office space that may be a shared office space. Emeritus faculty who have agreed to teach on a part-time basis and/or who have active research grants/contracts administered through UAH will have priority in space allocation. Upon retirement or shortly thereafter, emeritus faculty will move out of their faculty office to their emeritus faculty office. Also refer to Faculty Separation Policy for details.
An emeritus faculty member engaged in research with active, sponsored contracts/grants through UAH will be allocated laboratory, studio, or research space on an as needed basis, with annual review and approval of the Academic Dean and the Vice President for Research and Economic Development. Priority for laboratory, studio or research space will be given whenever UAH students are supported on their UAH administered grants/contracts or are being actively supervised by emeritus faculty.

University Governance
Upon retirement, emeritus faculty relinquish their faculty voting rights. As distinguished members of the academic community, emeritus faculty may, on occasion, be invited to provide input regarding university curricula, a faculty research matter, or strategic plans, in line with their expertise. Emeritus faculty may be invited by the appropriate university official to participate in the work of departmental/college/university committees if approved by the Academic Dean. The appointment must be reviewed annually.
Emeritus faculty do not participate in university shared governance or in committees and/or meetings where university/college/ department shared governance matters are discussed. Moreover, emeritus faculty do not participate in committees or meetings associated with fiscal, curricular and academic personnel matters including but not limited to hiring, tenure, and promotion reviews. It is the responsibility of the Department Chair and Academic Dean to ensure that these governance provisions are followed.

Emeritus faculty continue to have access to campus cultural, social, recreational, and sporting events. Parking and entry fees apply as would be the case for regular faculty.
