  1. Participation as a faculty member during commencement and other such occasions. 
  2. Library privileges equal to those of the regular faculty. 
  3. Faculty privileges in attendance at campus activities and the use of recreational facilities. 
  4. Maintenance on appropriate University faculty listings. 
  5. Committee appointments by invitation. 
  6. Computing facilities, including local network accounts, e-mail.

At its discretion and after review by the appropriate chair and dean, the University may grant to Emeritus applicants on a yearly renewable basis the following privileges:

  1. Office space.
