Procedure for Processing Emeritus Full Professor and Emeritus Professor

Subject to endorsement, the Executive Dean discusses the potential Emeritus application with the President and the VPP EDI, outlining how the candidate satisfies the criteria. Following consultation, the Executive Dean submits a written proposal to the President, outlining how the candidate meets the criteria for the title. The President reviews the proposal and discusses it with the Executive Dean and the VPP EDI.

If all parties are in agreement, the Executive Dean (or another senior university officer designated by the President) consults with the individual to confirm whether they wish to accept the title of Emeritus Full Professor or Emeritus Professor, should it be offered. The Executive Dean may also consult with other senior faculty members, if deemed appropriate.

Based on the information gathered, and subject to approval by the University Executive, the President makes a written recommendation to the Governing Authority. DCU People prepare documentation to be shared with the University Executive and Governing Authority for approval. 

If approved, the individual is formally notified in writing. The letter confirms the conferral of the title for a period of three years.
