Retiree Benefits

√  After you turn in your APSU identification card to Human Resources as a part of the process, you can obtain a Retiree Governor's Card which will list you as a retiree and allow you access to the library, Foy Center, and other locations.  To obtain this card go to the Information Desk in the lobby of the Morgan University Center.  This will also assign a new A--- identification number.

√  SPECIAL MEAL PLAN AT THE APSU CAFETERIA:  Aleeta Christian has worked hard to implement a program where all retirees can get on  the Special Meal Plan in the APSU Cafeteria, located in the Morgan University Center.  Once you obtain the above listed Governor's Card, you can purchase all-you-can-eat meals at a cost of $158.78, which includes tax, for 35 meals.  This averages to approximately $4.54 per meal.  This is the same cost as for current faculty and staff.  You can use the card for meals for your spouse and family as well.  You may purchase the meal plan on-line by going to http://www.dineoncampus.com/apsu/?cmd=mealPlans.  The appropriate meal plan is labeled:  Faculty & Staff 35. Thanks to Joe Mills and Cecil Wilson for working with Aleeta on this special.  When you purchase the plan on-line you must have your A number, of which you are either already aware, or you will learn when you get your Governor's Card.  The A number goes into the block that states "Student ID."  For operating hours go to:  http://www.dineoncampus.com/apsu/?cmd=menus. 

SUNDAY MEAL PLAN AT THE CAFETERIA:  Another available meal plan is the Sunday Meal Plan.  This plan offers 10 meals on Sundays for $50.00 ($5.00 per meal) which includes sales tax, and you can use it for your family as well.  To sign up for this plan see Mr. Joe Lachina, Director of Dining Services, in his office 216C in the Morgan University Center, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.  He may be reached by telephone at (931) 221-7036.  For operating hours go to:  http://www.dineoncampus.com/apsu/?cmd=menus.
