A number of additional services will now be provided to retirees of Elon University. Described below are all the services that the university will now make available to retired Elon employees.
Continuation of E-mail Usage
Retired employees can retain their Elon e-mail address and will be kept on the “facstaff” mailing list to receive information. If you are a retiree who does not have an Elon e-mail address and wish to obtain one, just contact the Office of Human Resources at (336) 278-5560 and arrangements will be made for you to receive one.
Phoenix ID Card Use
The university’s ID card is the key to receiving many of the services provided to retirees. The card can be used in the Belk Library, in the university’s fitness center, to obtain tickets for both cultural and athletic events at Elon, to reserve the Lodge property, and to secure employee discounts at select local businesses. If you do not currently have a Phoenix ID card, please contact the Office of Human Resources at (336) 278-5560 and arrangements will be made for you to receive one. It will be necessary for you to come to the campus and have your photo taken in order to receive your card.
Continuation of Parking Permit Usage
All retired employees are entitled to a parking permit to park on the campus when they visit. New “Elon University” parking permits were issued in June 2001 for all current employees. If you plan to visit campus and wish to have a new parking permit, you may do so by visiting the Office of Campus Safety and Police located immediately behind Hardees in the Jordan Center.
Use of Belk Library
Retired employees may continue to check out materials and use services of the Belk Library as long as they have a Phoenix ID card.
Fitness Center Usage
The Fitness Center can be used as long as a retired employee has a valid Phoenix ID card. For details on how to obtain a card if you do not have one, please see “Phoenix ID Card” above. Contact Elon Campus Recreation at (336) 278-7529 for details on current programs offered.
