Colorado State University is pleased to offer the second voluntary retirement incentive plans for eligible faculty, administrative professionals and classified staff. Many of our employees have dedicated the greater part of their professional careers to the University. The collective achievements and distinguished service have provided stability to the University in reaching its overall historical strategic goals.

The University is offering age-and-service based voluntary retirement incentive plans for eligible individuals. The plans will allow the University to provide a substantial and well-earned benefit to those employees who meet the University’s definition of retirement helping to facilitate the ability to retire earlier than otherwise may be financially possible.

The voluntary retirement incentive plans are being offered again as an opportunity to align salary costs with revenues to help preserve the jobs of permanent employees in light of the budget shortfall. The plans allow the University to be proactive in addressing ongoing budgetary and workforce challenges by offering retirement incentives so the career life cycle of colleagues who are not yet retirement-eligible may continue.
