Open Enrollment and Wellness Fairs 2024
To aid in your 2025 coverage decision-making, the Benefits team will hold Open Enrollment and Wellness Fairs at each campus. These fairs are an opportunity for employees to learn more about the benefits available to them. The Employee Benefits and Wellness team, as well as representatives from the university’s various benefits providers, will be present to answer questions. Biometric screenings and flu shots will also be available on those days.
Please note that all benefits-eligible employees are strongly encouraged to go through Open Enrollment as some benefits selections do not carry over without the employee's annual approval.
About Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment is Oct. 14 - Nov. 1, 2024. During this time, benefits-eligible employees may select and make changes to their health coverage plans based on their needs and the needs of their family. Outside a qualifying life event, this will be the only timeframe during which such changes may be made. Note that all benefits-eligible employees are strongly encouraged to go through Open Enrollment as some benefits selections do not carry over without the employee's annual approval.
Be on the lookout for the annual Open Enrollment informational video, which will be released in October.
