The key to a smooth transition into your retirement from UBC is planning ahead of time. Whether you have started this process or are considering it, our Retiring website is a very helpful resource.
This website provides all the information and steps you’ll need to consider to ensure that everything is wrapped up before you retire from UBC. For example, you can explore the option of enrolling in the Retirement and Survivor Benefits Program, which includes extended health and dental plans, as well as the Employee & Family Assistance Program.
Also a valuable resource, the Pension Administration Office (PAO) has retirement checklists and guides on their websites – both for staff and faculty. The PAO hosts seminars and workshops to help you understand your retirement options. If you are within a year of retiring, you are encouraged to schedule a meeting with a member services specialist to review your options.
If you have questions related to the UBC Staff Pension Plan or UBC Faculty Pension Plan, please contact the UBC Pension Administration Office at 604-822-8100.
Remember, retiring from UBC doesn’t mean you have to retire from campus life all together. As an important member of our community, you have Privileges After Retiring, including access to a UBC Library Card and free walking tours at UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan. Be sure to check them out!
