Open Enrollment, the annual period when University employees reflect on their benefit options for the coming year, begins Monday, Nov. 4, and continues through Friday, Nov. 15. This is the one time of year when individuals may elect or change their coverage for many benefits, unless they experience a qualifying life event. All of the relevant Open Enrollment information, including benefit plan and contribution details, dates for information sessions and office hours, and answers to frequently asked questions, are posted online at openenrollment.syr.edu.
Learn more! Attend the Benefits Open House on Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Barnes Center at The Arch, MAC Court. This event provides you with the opportunity to speak directly with the University’s benefit partners and HR representatives, learn how to get the most out of your benefits, and get your questions answered right in time for Open Enrollment. Complimentary parking is available at the Skytop Lot. Meet at the main entrance of the Skytop Office Building for direct transportation to the Barnes Center.
In addition to the Benefits Open House, you’ll have various opportunities to connect with benefit professionals. Visit the dedicated Open Enrollment website to learn about those opportunities.
Enroll online through myslice.syr.edu from Nov. 4-15. Computer kiosks are available during normal business hours inside the Office of Human Resources in the Skytop Office Building to provide additional computer access for online enrollment. For other locations, review the ITS website.
