The Open Enrollment website is available now and serves as your go-to for all things open enrollment, including the 2024 Open Enrollment guide as well as schedules and information for open enrollment presentations, one-on-one sessions, labs and Spanish labs.

One-on-one sessions, which take place Oct. 2 – Oct. 13, are currently available to schedule.

The website is updated frequently so be sure to check back often for new information.

Enrollment Reminders
 You are encouraged to carefully review all your benefits and actively enroll for 2024 benefits coverage. Although some benefits will automatically roll forward if you don't take action, there are certain benefits that require you to provide additional information on an annual basis. These include the certification for tobacco use, spousal coverage and setting contributions to health care/dependent care spending accounts.

Information will continue to be provided via Purdue Today, emails and the dedicated open enrollment websites for Purdue University and Purdue Global employees.

Questions related to open enrollment for 2024 benefits can be directed to Human Resources at 765-494-2222 or via email at hr@purdue.edu.
