Employees may begin making individual contributions the first month of employment by completing the 403(b) Salary Deferral Agreement Form and returning it to the Office of Human Resources.  This form indicates what percentage of your salary you want to have allocated to your retirement account. 

Regular employees who have worked 20 hours or more per week for 12 continuous months are eligible to receive the University matching contribution.  Employees who are scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week may qualify for matching contributions if they have worked more than 1,000 hours in 12 continuous months.  See the Summary Plan Description for more details.

The University’s matching contribution begins after one year of employment. However, newly hired employees may be eligible to receive the University match prior to the one year waiting period upon submission and review of the Prior University Work Experience Certification Form.
