Benefits Open Enrollment FY2026
Clarkson University’s benefits open enrollment period for the 2025-2026 year will begin on Monday, April 28, 2025, and go through Monday, May 12, 2025. Open enrollment allows you to make changes to current coverage, add coverage, change/update beneficiary information, and elect a Flexible Spending Account for either medical or dependent (daycare). All changes made during the open enrollment period will be effective July 1, 2025.
There will be no premium increases for medical, dental, or vision coverage. We encourage you to attend an open enrollment session. This is a great way to get a refresher on how the plans work as well as ask questions.
