    How to Enroll

    New for 2025 Open Enrollment: Open Enrollment will be an active enrollment for all employees except part-time faculty. This means that all full-time faculty and staff, part-time staff, and SHENS employees must actively make elections for medical, vision, dental, and FSA plans in order to re-enroll for 2025. These plans will no longer automatically carry over as in prior years.

    Follow the steps below to re-enroll or change your benefits enrollment for 2025.

    1. Learn more about your benefits and the benefit changes for 2025 by reviewing your Open Enrollment Guide and our Open Enrollment Overview card.
    2. Review your current benefit elections and costs in MyDay. Click on the Benefits app on your homepage, then select View > Benefit Elections.
    3. The Open Enrollment Overview card lists benefits that may require re-enrollment in order to continue coverage. Use our Navigating Open Enrollment guide for step-by-step instructions to re-enroll or make changes to your medical, dental, or life insurance and/or to enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for 2025 in MyDay.
    4. Once you have submitted your changes or elections, you can use the Print button in MyDay to download a PDF for your records.

    All changes will go into effect on January 1, 2025.

    Note: Qualified Transportation Expense and Tax Deferred Annuity Retirement Plan changes can be made outside of the Open Enrollment Benefit Event.
