EMERITUS STATUS 

The title "Emeritus Professor" shall be conferred upon every assistant, associate and full professor retired by the President.  The title of "Emeritus Lecturer" shall be conferred upon  every full-time and part-time lecturer retired by the President.  The title "Emeritus" shall be conferred upon librarians, administrative officers, student affairs and academically related professionals of equivalent rank, and staff retired by the President.  All recipients of "Emeritus" status shall have met the minimum retirement age of fifty and served a minimum of five years at California State University, Sacramento, and in the case of part-time lecturers, served a minimum of the equivalent of five years of full-time service.  

The process for nomination is a function of retirement procedures, handled through normal administrative channels; emeritus status is approved and granted by the President. The practice of both the University and the emeritus Association of continuing the appropriate privileges and membership opportunity for the surviving spouses of deceased emeritus (or potential emeritus) faculty is noted.
