College Retirement Plan

The college provides a basic 403(b) retirement plan with TIAA and Fidelity Investments to full-time administrative staff and faculty, and confidential and classified employees who meet certain eligibility requirements.

 For eligible full time employees:

  • The College contributes 10% of your base pay each pay period.
  • You are required to contribute 5% of your base pay each pay period.
  • All funds are 100% vested immediately.

For eligible part time employees:

  • The College contributes 5% of your base pay each pay period.
  • You are required to contribute 5% of your base pay each pay period.
  • All funds are 100% vested immediately.

Participation in the Retirement Plan is mandatory and a condition of employment for full time employees (not grant administrators or temporary administrators). Your contribution is equal to 5% of your base pay, either pre-tax or post tax.

Prior to attaining eligibility, you may, beginning at any time, contribute your own funds to a retirement account without College contributions.
