Previous OU Service

Current university employees who were employed at the Health Sciences Center, Tulsa Campus, or the Norman Campus and have prior University benefits-eligible service receive credit for those years of service towards their University retirement. The following criteria will be used to determine an employee's eligibility for additional years of service:

  1. Current benefits-eligible employee;
  2. Prior University benefits-eligible service on the Norman Campus, Health Sciences Center, or Tulsa Campus.

All employees that meet the above mentioned criteria should submit the Previous OU Employment Verfication form to the Office of Personnel Records. Once the form is completed and returned to the Office of Personnel Records, your prior employment service will be verified and the appropriate changes will be made to your payroll records.

Previous years of OU service may be eligible for calculation in your campus's staff senate service awards. Please contact your campus staff senate for eligibility rules and additional information.

Please note that if you participate in Oklahoma Teachers' Retirement System (OTRS), your previous years will only be counted if you left your contributions or you bought back those years. If you have any questions regarding your years of service for OTRS, please contact them at 405-521-2387.

If you have any questions, please us the "Contact" link at the bottom of the page to contact the Office of Personnel Records on your campus.
