2. I am planning to resign from my position at the University of Cincinnati.  What do I need to do?

Inform your supervisor of your impending resignation in writing as soon as possible. A template is available for your convenience here. Also, log on to www.uc.edu/hr/forms to request a Separation Clearance Form.  The Separation Clearance form lists the steps involved in separating from the University.  In addition, call the Human Resources Service Center at 513-556-6381 and schedule an exit interview with a representative.  The exit interview will provide information about benefit continuation, your last paychecks, and any final requirements for returning University property and provide an opportunity to give feedback rie your employment experience at the University.
