The College reserves the right to change benefit plans and programs at any time. Current benefits are not a guarantee of future benefits and not all employees are eligible for the same level of benefits. Additional benefit programs may be available, but may not be listed on this website at this time. If determined to be eligible for benefits, please refer to your individual benefit enrollment package for specific details of current benefit offerings.

Important note: Employees who experience a life event change such as the birth of a child, change in marital status, or other change as defined under IRS and Section 125 guidelines may make related changes to their benefit elections.
