A nomination application for Classified Staff Emeritus status may be submitted in anticipation of an employee’s retirement to ensure the employee’s timely transition to affiliate status without loss of services. Nominations may be made up to six months in advance of, or up to one year beyond, their actual retirement date.
A Classified Staff member can be considered for Emeritus status in two ways. First, the Classified Staff member can complete the application process themselves. Second, the Classified Staff member can be nominated by another West Virginia University employee. The nominee will be contacted by the Chairperson of Classified Staff Council informing them of the nomination.
The status of Classified Staff Emeritus can only be applied for once. The application process must be followed in order to be considered for the Classified Staff Emeritus status.
