Dear Colleagues,
The Faculty Phased Retirement Program (FPRP) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign offers tenured and specialized faculty a flexible path toward retirement. With unit executive officer and dean approval, participants can gradually reduce their workload while continuing to contribute meaningfully to the university.
To support this new program, we’re pleased to announce the launch of a new website that serves as a central resource for FPRP information, tools, and guidance. In addition, we will host two virtual sessions for academic leaders this fall to share program components, application steps, and to answer questions you may have about this new plan.
Virtual sessions will be held on October 14, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. and October 16, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.
Registration is available at: https://go.illinois.edu/FacultyPhasedRetirementProgram
John Coleman, Provost
