Mark Your Calendar—Open Enrollment for Faculty and Staff Begins Nov. 2

Open Enrollment, the annual period when eligible employees reflect on their benefit options for the coming year, begins Monday, Nov. 2, and continues through Friday, Nov. 13. This is the one time of year when University faculty and staff may elect or change their coverage for many benefits, unless they experience a mid-year life event change.

All of the relevant Open Enrollment information, including benefit plan details, various resources to learn more and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the Open Enrollment website.

Questions About Benefits? Connect With Human Resources!

There are several ways for faculty and staff to connect with resources that will enable them to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones.
