Retirees maintain and have access to many benefits offered to University of Guelph employees, as well as retiree-focused opportunities.

UGRA - Pensioners receive a quarterly newsletter from the University of Guelph Retiree Association (UGRA), a volunteer organization representing all retirees. You can voluntarily become a contributing member of UGRA [1].

Scholarship & Tuition Waiver - This benefit is the same for retirees as for Regular Full-Time employees. Explore learning opportunities such as:

• Tuition Waiver Request [2]  for retirees
• Scholarship / Tuition Assistance [3] Plan for Dependent Children and Spouses of Eligible Retirees
• Athletic Facilities - Retirees and their dependents are eligible to purchase Athletic memberships. The Athletics Recreation Information Line is 824-4120 ext. 56253 or visit the Athletics website [4].
• Library Services [5] – The Library provides several library services for retirees [6].
• University of Guelph E-mail Account - During the retirement process, HR will send a Non-Pension forms package:
  • It includes a form where a future retiree can choose to keep their e-mail account active 
  • This applies only to central login ID accounts 
  • There is no charge for this service
