Statement
The University of Louisville does not have a mandatory retirement age for faculty, staff, or administrators. Retirement may occur when the regular status employee either:
- Has a minimum of seven years of regular service and who is at least 60 years of age; or
- Has a minimum of seven years of service in Eligible Faculty or Staff status and whose combination of age and years of regular service of not less than 80% full-time equivalent at the University is equal to or greater than 75.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, years of regular service mean calendar years or (in the case of faculty) academic years and employment on a basis of not less than 80% full-time equivalent during any part of a calendar year or (in the case of faculty) an academic year shall be counted as a full year of regular service.
