ANNUAL ENROLLMENT
The Annual Enrollment Transfer Period for insurance benefits is October 15 through November 15. This is the only time of the year when participants can make changes in their insurance coverage. Changes in coverage will become effective on January 1, with the exception of Unum Provident Optional Life Insurance. UnumProvident will inform you of the effective date.
If you are not currently participating in a health plan with the University, you cannot enroll UNLESS you apply for medical coverage as a late applicant, for a $60 non-refundable fee, or apply for Special Enrollment by Qualifying Event. Additionally, you cannot add dependents that are not currently covered unless you have a qualifying event.

- Enroll in, increase or decrease current benefit level, or cancel Optional Term and Universal Life
