17. When do I have to retire by if I am approved for the VRIP?

All employees participating in the VRIP must retire in the 2025 calendar year. On the application form, staff members will have an opportunity to choose any retirement date in 2025. Note that the approval process will run until the end of February, so staff members should not pick a date prior to April 1. Faculty members will have an opportunity to choose a retirement date of either June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2025.
