Adjunct faculty are eligible to participate, at group rates, in the plan of their choice, but they are responsible for the full cost of the coverage. Unless completely waived, health coverage must be selected within 31 days of employment or at open enrollment. Coverage is effective on the first of the month following date of hire. All faculty members have an opportunity to change plans during an open enrollment period held at the end of the calendar year, with coverage effective January 1. Those initially waiving coverage or deciding to re-join a plan may do so at that time.
Coverage normally ends on the last day of the month in which the faculty member terminates.
Should the faculty member intend to leave the College, some prior planning is needed.
