Vacating Work/Studio Space

Tenured and tenure-track faculty intending to retire or separate from the college must vacate office/studio spaces when teaching obligations have ceased. Those retiring after concluding teaching in the fall semester should vacate offices/studios by January 1, and those retiring after concluding teaching in the spring semester by July 1. It should be noted that formal retirement agreements may include a later separation date in order to preserve retirement benefits and years of service calculations; however, retirees will be expected to observe the January 1/July 1 dates to vacate offices/studios. These deadlines allow the unit opportunity to revise space assignments and conduct maintenance and renovations. If extenuating circumstances exist, the chair/director should discuss these with the dean to request an extension not to exceed one semester beyond the faculty member’s retirement date.

Staff and non-tenure-tenured track faculty who retire or separate from the college are expected to vacate their offices/studios or workspaces at the conclusion of their last day of service to the college.
