Required
Employees are typically benefits eligible if they are in a 50% or greater permanent appointment. You can review your benefits eligibility in your offer letter or check with your supervisor.
CU Boulder offers several ways to learn about your benefits, allowing you to choose the format that works best for you. We recommend attending a benefits orientation early in your 31-day enrollment period so you have enough time to review your options and enroll.
Choose the option that best fits your schedule and learning style:
