Membership

Eligibility and Application Process

  • Regular Membership

    a) All retired faculty of Clemson University who have received the title of emeritus or emerita faculty are regular members of the College. Clemson University Human Resources immediately transfers each new emeritus faculty member from his or her home department to membership in the Emeritus College faculty. No application by the retiring faculty member is required to trigger that transfer.

    b) All other retired faculty of Clemson University who have served at least five years at the University and fifteen years in the academic profession may, upon request, become regular members of the College.

    All emeritus faculty benefits accrue immediately upon becoming a member of the Emeritus College faculty.

  • Affiliate Membership

    Clemson University individuals with teaching and/or research careers that are congruent with the mission of the University and the Emeritus College may be nominated to become affiliate members. With the approval of the Director and Advisory Board, the nominee will be invited to membership by the Director. Affiliate members may participate in all functions of the College but may not vote or hold office.
