AU's 403(b) Retirement Plan allows you to make contributions immediately to your retirement savings. If you are eligible for matching funds from the university (see below for eligibility) the first five percent (5%) of your contributions are matched 2-to-1 by the university, for a total contribution of up to 15 percent (5% from you plus a 10% match by the university).

Eligibility to Contribute to the Retirement Plan

• Faculty: Full-time or adjunct faculty member under contract and receiving remuneration
• Staff: Employed by AU on a full-time or part-time basis

Eligibility to Receive the University Matching Contribution

• Eligible faculty or staff member (defined as full-time or adjunct faculty and full-time or part-time staff who worked for at least 1,000 hours per year as measured from date of hire), and
• Age 24 or over, and
• Completed at least one year of eligibility service (waived if at least one year of previous full-time service at an approved institution - see "Waiver of the One-Year Waiting Period" below).

Waiver of the One-Year Waiting Period for the University Matching Contribution

If you have a year of service at another 501(c)(3), non-profit, or university, you may be eligible for a waiver of the one-year waiting period. Complete the AU Retirement Plan Eligibility Verification Form and return it to the human resources benefits team.

Enrolling in the Retirement Plan/Making Changes to Your Contribution

You may enroll or make changes to your payroll contribution amount through Workday.

Note regarding Automatic Enrollment: You will be automatically enrolled in the retirement plan when you meet the university's matching contribution requirements. You will receive a notification shortly before you become eligible with enrollment instructions. If you do not make an election, the university will automatically reduce your compensation by 1% and contribute it to the retirement plan on your behalf, with a 2% match from the university.
