Retiring Faculty Information

A retired faculty member is defined as a faculty member who was an UMDNJ employee and who submitted a letter stating his/her retirement as of a specified date to his/her chair.

Picture Identification Card
UMDNJ-RWJMS picture identification cards will be made available free to all retired faculty members who request them. An identification card is required to obtain entrance to the exercise facilities at Rutgers University.

UMDNJ Libraries
UMDNJ library will provide walk-in access for retired faculty for use of collection and electronic resources. In order to gain remote access to the library, you must be a registered library patron. There is no charge for this. The form can be obtained by going to the UMDNJ Libraries Web page.

The completed form should be faxed to Ms. O'Rourke at (732) 235-7826 or mailed to her at the following address:

Ms. Kerry O'Rourke
UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
RWJ Library Health Sciences
Medical Education Building , Room 101
One Robert Wood Johnson Place CN-19
New Brunswick , N.J. 08901-1969

If you have questions, Ms. O'Rourke can be contacted directly by email at orourke@umdnj.edu or by telephone at (732) 235-7606.

Parking
Information on parking fees may be obtained by calling Public Safety at (732) 235-9363. If a retired faculty member remains actively involved in the medical school and becomes a volunteer, a reduced monthly parking rate is available. Retired faculty members who have voluntary status will be given qualified academic rank status. To become a volunteer, the retired faculty member must contact his/her department.

Email
The account names of retired faculty will be maintained in perpetuity and an email forwarding service will be available to them. The service will automatically forward mail sent to their existing UMDNJ address to an email address of their choosing. This address can be changed at any time by using a simple web-based interface. In effect, retired faculty can continue to use their UMDNJ email address even though their actual account will be hosted at some other institution or commercial ISP.

Upon request, a retiring faculty’s ACS account can remain active for a period up to 60 days to provide ample time to obtain an account with a commercial ISP and establish a new email account using our email forwarding facility.
Active accounts will not be removed for retiring faculty immediately returning in a half time or part-time capacity. Retired faculty members, who return at a later time or in some other capacity, e.g., visitor/guest, are eligible to have their active account re-established. A letter from their chair or supervisor requesting an active account will be necessary.

Posting of Medical School and University Activities

Notification of Medical School and University Activities
Retired faculty who register will be provided with regular communications and updates on medical school and university activities.
