Syracuse University offers a comprehensive benefits program that provides flexibility and choice to meet the unique needs of our employees and their families. Unless you experience a qualifying life event in 2023, Open Enrollment is your one opportunity to review your current benefits, explore your options and decide which benefits you wish to select for the coming year. If you would like to make changes to your benefits for 2023, be sure to complete your enrollment online via MySlice between Oct. 31-Nov. 11.

Each year, Syracuse University reviews its benefits program and makes revisions based on a thorough evaluation, which includes comparisons to the programs of other higher education institutions. This year, health care costs are inflating by more than they have in over a decade, and the University is taking steps to help employees afford these increases and to keep their costs as low as possible.

The following is an overview of benefits for 2023, including planned changes for the upcoming year. Please review this information closely to assist you in planning accordingly.
