A variety of benefits and services are available to you as a Retiree of Seminole State College...

Library Privileges

With your Seminole State library card, you may borrow library materials, and enjoy full access to all Seminole State learning resource centers. A gold sticker, denoting retirement status, will be placed on your current library card or on a new library card.

Exercise Facilities

During posted hours, you may access the Weight/Exercise Room and Tennis Courts on a space available basis. For safety reasons, a College employee will be on the premises during these scheduled periods. You must present your Seminole State library card and a picture ID to gain admittance.

Theatre Admission

Retirees are eligible for the same discounts on tickets and subscriptions for Seminole State student productions as current Seminole State employees. The Orlando Theater Project (OTP) offers a discount of $3.00 off the ticket price to all seniors (age 55 and above.)

Tuition Waivers

Residents of the State of Florida who are 60 years of age and older, will be given a waiver of matriculation, tuition, and late registration fees when registering for one college credit class on a space available basis. To take advantage of this opportunity, you may register after the regular registration period. Courses may be taken for credit or audited. Courses that have selective admissions criteria or courses offered through the vocational non credit, leisure time, and community service programs are not included under this program. Laboratory fees are not waived.

Tuition Reimbursement for Spouse and Dependents

The spouse and dependent(s) of an eligible, retired Seminole State employee may be entitled to a refund of approved fees for post secondary education credit courses taken at the College for a total of 60 semester hours or their equivalent. To be eligible, a retiree must have completed ten years of continuous full-time employment at Seminole State immediately prior to retirement from Seminole State College and currently receive retirement benefits through an Seminole State retirement plan.

Insurance

You and your qualified dependents may participate in several Seminole State insurance programs. Medical, dental, supplemental life and vision insurance are available to eligible retirees. You must pay the premium costs for the benefits you elect.

Service Pins

As an Seminole State retiree, you will be awarded a special retiree service pin.

e-Mail and Postal Mail

After you retire from Seminole State, you may continue to use your department e-mail and postal mail addresses for professional purposes.

Cards and Correspondence

You may use Seminole State stationery for professional correspondence after you retire. Upon request, Seminole State business cards with your name and "your current title - retired" will be prepared for your use.

Parking

You may obtain an Seminole State parking decal/tag, which permits free access to all campus location parking for faculty/staff.

Emergency Shelter

Retired employees of the College and their dependents are eligible to use Building G (know as the Fine Arts Building), as an emergency shelter with a capacity to shelter 150 individuals. In the event the shelter needs to be opened, Seminole County Emergency Management will promptly contact the College's representative.
