Retirement Plan
The College participates in the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association’s (TIAA-CREF) retirement program. Participation in the retirement plan is mandatory to all eligible employees. Employees must contribute at least 5 percent of their gross pay per pay period and the College matches with a 7 percent contribution. Employees also have the option to participate in a supplemental retirement plan with no contribution from the College.
Illinois College Tuition Remission / Exchange Program
The College offers tuition remission and exchange to all full-time employees and their dependents. Please contact the Human Resources Office for more information.
Insurance Enrollment Periods
Employees are eligible to enroll in the insurance plans during the first 30 days of employment or during annual open enrollment. You can make changes to your plan only during enrollment periods or if you have a “qualifying event” throughout the year.
