Emeriti Benefits
Benefits for emeriti
Upon retirement from Indiana University, emeriti professors and librarians receive a wide range of benefits. These include automatic enrollment in the Emeriti House listserv and invitations to all programs and events. Since Emeriti House is not a membership organization, there is no membership fee and no charge for participating in almost all of Emeriti House programs.
In addition, a long list of perks and benefits are available including:
Permits for retired IU employees may be purchased online through IU Parking Operations or in person at the Parking Operations Office, located in the Henderson Garage. Retirees are eligible to purchase an EM/RE permit, which is an EM-P (employee premium) permit, at the price of an EM-S (employee standard) permit. For an updated cost of the annual EM/RE permit, please contact Parking Operations at 812-855-9848 or email parking@iu.edu.
- Eligible to join the IU Retirees Association.
- Retain IU Library system privileges and IU email account.
- Membership in the University Club, paid for by the campus. Visit the University Club website for details or call 812-855-1325.
- All emeriti faculty and librarians may participate in Emeriti House programs and services and automatically receive electronically the program calendar. All retired IU staff members are also invited to join the listserv (Email: emeriti@iu.edu). Free parking is provided for program attendees in the nearby Atwater Garage.
A complete statement of BL-ACA-A8, the “Status and Privileges of Retired Faculty Members and Librarians,” is available at Status and Privileges of Retired Faculty Members and Librarians.
Retired faculty and staff may continue to order season football and men’s basketball tickets at the discounted faculty/staff rate if the individual has ordered tickets for five consecutive years prior to retirement. Please make sure the ticket office has a current mailing address and email address. The retiree must notify the Indiana University Athletics Ticket Office in writing of retirement to continue to receive applications. To receive the 10 percent discount, email your name, IU ID number, and the department you retired from, to iuticket@iu.edu.
Admission to athletic events other than football and men’s basketball is the same as for active faculty and staff employees.
Priority points that affect seating assignments for the IU football and men's basketball games are retained in accordance with the IU Athletics Priority Points Policy.
