Open Enrollment for Contract Faculty, Classified, Management and Board of Trustees
- Open Enrollment for medical and vision insurance is from August 1 to August 31, 2025.
- Changes you make go into effect on October 1, 2025.
- During Open Enrollment, you select your benefits from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
- There is no dental Open Enrollment this year. It's once every three years and the next one is in 2027.
If you aren't making changes to your Health Insurance, no action is required.
Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to review current benefit elections and make changes such as:
- Change medical plans
- Enroll in one of the five medical plans and/or the vision plan if you aren't currently enrolled
- Drop your medical or vision plan
- Add or drop dependents
After Open Enrollment ends, you cannot change your benefit elections until the next Open Enrollment, unless you have a ‘qualified status change’ like a change in your marital status, the birth of a baby, loss of other coverage, etc.
