What is Open Enrollment
Benefit open enrollment is the period when you can review and change your benefit selections for the upcoming plan year.

Please ensure you do the following:
- Review your current elections and make any necessary changes. If you wish to continue participating in the medical/dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), you must actively re-enroll in the plan, as enrollment does not automatically carry over from the previous year.
- Ensure your personal information is updated, including your beneficiary designation for your University Paid Life and AD&D insurance.
How to Enroll?

Benefit enrollment is through Workday. NU employees can access Workday via the SSO Chiclet. Access job aid on how to enroll >>
