University Emeriti Privileges

Emeriti faculty are recognized with the distinguished “Emeritus/Emerita” faculty rank and are honored through lifetime listings in applicable catalogs, directories, and department/school websites. They may also participate in academic ceremonies and processions, including commencement.

If you have not yet obtained your Faculty Emeriti University ID card, please visit the Monarch Card and Business Services Center, located at 1120 Monarch Hall (formerly the College of Education building), Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

For questions or additional assistance regarding University ID cards, please contact the Monarch Card and Business Services Center at 757-683-3508 or via email at cardcenter@odu.edu

Please note that this office experiences increased activity and may have longer wait times at the beginning of each semester.

Your University ID card is required to:

• Check out books from the University Libraries
• Access the University Fitness Center
• Receive a discount at the University Village Bookstore

Emeriti faculty may retain their University email address (subject to activity review every five years) and access to University Libraries (in person and online) resources through a MIDAS account.

• To obtain a MIDAS account, contact the University’s Information Technology Services (IT) at ITSAccts@odu.edu.
• Please remember to update your University email password whenever prompted.

To activate your parking privileges for the current academic year, please complete the Special Parking Permit Request Form.

• The form includes step-by-step instructions. Once submitted, your information is uploaded directly into the Transportation & Parking Services system and takes effect immediately.
• Your license plate number serves as your permit. Dashboard permits are no longer issued. Please double-check the accuracy of your license plate number.
• Emeriti parking privileges are non-transferable and may not be shared with family, friends, or colleagues.
• If you are an Emeriti Faculty member who also serves as an adjunct instructor, you do not need to purchase an adjunct parking permit. Your Emeriti parking access remains valid while you are teaching, and we thank you for your continued dedication to teaching our students!
• If your vehicle information changes during the year, please notify Transportation & Parking Services by calling 757-683-4004 or emailing parking@odu.edu.
