������ Notification (after your meeting with STRS): Before notifying ������ of your retirement, you should have determined your last working day as well as your actual retirement effective date.

• To initiate your retirement from the University, you need to submit a letter of intent to retire to your Department Chair, School Director, College Dean (if you are in a college without a department or school) or Regional Campus Dean, as applicable. This letter should state the effective date of your retirement which is always the first of a month. Your last working date will be the day prior to your retirement date; (e.g., If you are retiring at the end of a spring semester, your last date worked would be the ending date of your contract for that academic year. Your last date worked would be the end date of your faculty contract (usually a date in mid-May) and your retirement would be effective on 6/1.
• After you submit your letter, your Department/School/College/Campus will submit a Notification of Separation (NOS) workflow which triggers all related ������ procedures to complete your retirement.
