Open Enrollment (Renewal Option)
Each year a specific time is designated as the Open Enrollment/Renewal Option Period for Carleton benefit plans. During this time employees will be informed of premium rate and plan design changes and may change from one plan to another. Enrollment in the health care spending account and/or dependent care spending account is done at this time as well. Human Resources will notify employees via e-mail and through Carleton Today of the Open Enrollment Period.
