Resignation Process
Upon deciding to resign from the university, faculty members should submit either a letter or email to their department chair stating their intent to resign with an effective date. Faculty may resign voluntarily from the University at any time. Standard resignation dates are 1/15, 5/31 or 8/31.
The department chair must officially accept the resignation in writing through either an email or letter. The acceptance must confirm the effective resignation date. Letters should be signed and dated.
Copies of the resignation letter and cepartment chair's acceptance should be sent to all other departments or centers where the faculty have concurrent appointments, including courtesy or zero percent time appointments.
Processing Resignations in Workday
After the department has received both the resignation letter and department chair's acceptance, departmental administrative staff should process the Termination in Workday. The resignation letter and chair's acceptance should be attached to the business process.
Prior to processing the termination, staff will also need to end any additional employment via an End Additional Job BP.
