Health Plan Reimbursement Eligibility
Retirement
Part-time faculty are allowed a one-time irrevocable election to participate in a State of Connecticut retirement plan. Part-time faculty who are also employed by another state agency and enrolled in a retirement plan must be enrolled in the same retirement plan with Central.
Part-time faculty may waive participation in a retirement plan. Please be aware that waiver of retirement plan membership results in ineligibility for retirement membership during any subsequent employment as a part-time lecturer within the Connecticut Higher Education System.
Note: Failure to waive or enroll in a retirement plan results in an automatic default to the Hybrid plan with your first paycheck of the semester.
Tuition Waiver
Note: You must have accrued 18 load hours to be eligible for tuition waiver.
The total benefit shall not exceed the member’s current equivalent workload credit and shall only be used during the semester of employment of the semester immediately following.
