Resources
Loyola University Chicago recognizes the loyalty and the continuing scholarly contributions of its Emeriti. These are individuals who are retired from the regular faculty, no longer hold tenure, and have been awarded Emeritus/a status according to the policies set forth in the Faculty Handbook. Emeritus/a status confers upon its recipient both certain privileges and academic opportunities.
Working in consultation with the office of Faculty Administration and Human Resources, the Provosts continually seek to maintain a list of the privileges and to create additional academic opportunities appropriate to Emeritus/a status.
Summary of Privileges

- Loyola University Photo ID
