A part-time faculty member is eligible for the medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits if he/she is teaching six credits or more and also has taught twelve credits or more in two of the last four (calendar) years.
We offer 3 different plans to fit your individual preferences, including:
We offer three tiers for dental coverage that cover diagnostic/preventive services, basic services and major services at a set percentage.
We offer a vision plan administered by EyeMed Vision that covers an annual eye exam for a low copay, as well as reduced-cost benefits and discounts when using in-network providers.
With a Section 125 plan, you may pay for qualified benefit premiums before any taxes are deducted from your paycheck (saving on federal, state and FICA taxes) at no cost to you.
You, your spouses/domestic partner and your dependent children can enroll in Quinnipiac courses, depending on the number of credits you are teaching.
A state-sponsored, tax-advantaged 529 college savings plan helps you to plan for the cost of higher education. You may use the funds for tuition, required fees, certain room and board costs, books, supplies, computers, and related technology costs, such as internet access fees and printers. We offer you the ability to easily elect to make payroll deductions to CHET. You’re also eligible to receive a state income tax deduction on your contributions.
Every year, the Human Resources team offers the Benefits, Health and Wellness Fair to advise employees about their benefits coverage and assist them with open enrollment. In addition, employees can enjoy activities such as gong therapy, chair massages, giveaways and raffles.
You can contribute up to a certain amount of pre-tax money to a 403(b) defined contribution account, and we will match your contribution up to 5%.

You may invest in any of the funds in the Quinnipiac Fund Array at TIAA.
