Benefits Enrollment

Retirement benefits for regular benefited employees begin day one (1). Please review the Retirement Video and the Retire Ready for Higher Education webpage.

Regular benefited employees can begin the Benefit Enrollment process by first watching our New Employee Benefits Introduction video and visiting the Partners for Health website for New Employees. To help you with your enrollment decisions, we encourage you to review the information and related links on our Health Benefits and Retirement webpages.
