Retirement Plans
Invest in your financial future by taking advantage of the University's retirement and deferred compensation plans. Experts estimate that you will need at least 70% of your annual income for each year of retirement. To build a sufficient nest egg, it is important to save as much as you can consistently over time. It is never too early, or too late, to save for your retirement.
You can get started right away by enrolling in the Supplemental Retirement Program ("SRP"). Depending on your job classification, you also will enjoy University contributions to your retirement savings through the University's mandatory retirement plans.

Each retirement plan is described in detail in a Summary Plan Description ("SPD") or other document that is easily accessed from the "Related Documents" section. We encourage you to read each SPD to learn more about the plans that are available to you.
