Retired Members of Staff - Keeping in touch

Cyber security is an ever-increasing risk for institutions such as UL with a significant threat posed by a variety of sophisticated ‘hackers’. On the basis of serious audit and risk issues identified, access to the @ul.ie email address and relevant systems will no longer continue after Retirement.

We want to ensure that retired members of staff continue to receive University updates of interest, to maintain important and meaningful links with the wider ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ community.  To facilitate this, a dedicated section for UL retirees has been set up on , the university's communications and information management platform.

The Retiree Space is a home for University Limerick news, RIP notices, events and information of interest to retired members of staff. This information may be shared to the space by areas within the university e.g. Research Office, the Age Friendly University Committee, the Provost or President’s Offices or UL Sport. In addition, as this is a community space, anyone who is a member can also share information with other members of the space. 

If you have not done so already and wish to access UL Connect, please advise us of your preferred email address by completing and returning the attached . Doing so gives UL permission to contact you and allows us to set you up on the UL Connect platform.

The Retirees' Space User Guide gives more information about how the platform works, how to set it up and use it on your computer or phone.

Please note: External users (any emails that are not current UL staff addresses) should use the following link to . If you have forgotten your password please click the "Forgot Password?" button. Here, you will be prompted to input the email address associated with your UL Connect account. If the email address inputted matches up with an active external users account you will be sent password reset instructions to your inbox and can follow the steps from the email to reset.
