    Retirement

    Disclaimer: This page contains general information on retirement options. In the event of a conflict between the information on this page and the collective agreement or plan documents, the agreement/documents should be taken as correct.

    Retirement

    The normal retirement age for CUASA members is 65. There is no manditory retirement age in Ontario.

    When you choose to retire, you will be eligible to receive a pension from the Carleton University Retirement Plan. If you are considering retirement, please contact the CUASA Office for advice.

    Early Retirement

    Members have the option of retiring early. Normally, this will result in a corresponding reduction in the total pension plan payout. If you are considering early retirement, you are strongly encouraged to discuss the impact it will have on your pension with Human Resources.

    In certain extraordinary circumstances, it is possible that a voluntary separation arrangement could be negotiated for members who are within a few years from retirement and who have decided to leave the university. This is extremely rare.

    Reduced Time Appointment for Long Service Employees

    There are a variety of reduced time appointment options available to members who want to reduce the amount they are working and have served full-time for at least ten years at Carleton and are over age 55. This plan is tailored to each member’s unique situation and as such you are advised to contact the CUASA Office.

    After Retirement

    Retired academic staff continue to be associate members of the Association. CUASA negotiates benefits and contract teaching stipends on behalf of retired members. For more information, please see Article 39.9 of the collective agreement or Carleton’s Benefits at a Glance for Retired CUASA Member.

    Honourary Ranks

    The assignment of honourary ranks after retirement is governed by the University’s Honorary and Affiliated Ranks policy. More information on honourary ranks can be obtained from the Provost’s Office.

    Teaching Credit Courses and Supervising Graduate Students

    Retired members may continue to teach credit courses at Carleton as a contract instructor and shall have priority as determined by Article 39.9.

    Supervision of graduate students is determined by the Graduate Supervision Appointments policy. Members who supervise graduate students after retirement are paid $2,000 per Master’s thesis and $4,000 per PhD dissertation accepted by Graduate Studies for which the member is the supervisor.

    Parking

    Parking is available to retired members teaching courses at the contract instructor rate. For more information, contact the Parking Office.
