This purchase must be paid in full prior to the deadline outlined on the Notice of Cost and may delay your options package. If you were a combined pensionable service employee, you will also be receiving a termination package from Conduent HR Services (Pension Administrator for the Universities Academic Pension Plan). If you are currently purchasing prior service or a leave of absence, the outstanding balance is due as of your termination date. In order to allow for processing time, you have 60 days from your date of termination to provide payment in full to our office to ensure it is processed within the timeframe allowed. If you choose not to purchase prior service in full, the account will be closed and any service purchased will be credited to your account. This service may not be available for you to purchase in the future. In order for Alberta Pension Services (APS) to process your pension options, proof of age documents are required by Alberta Pension Services. These can be either a passport or birth certificate. Name change documents are also required if the name used today is different than indicated on the birth certificate or passport - ie. marriage certificate. |

Combined Pensionable Service Employees (PSPP & UAPP) |
If you are a combined pensionable service employee (having service established in both PSPP and UAPP pension plans) you will receive two separately calculated pensions, based on the pensionable service you earned in each plan. Upon your retirement or termination the university will submit your pension information to the pension plan associated with the position you are leaving. If you choose to start your pension with either plan you will need to contact your inactive pension plan to advise and authorize them to create your pension package.
