Benefit Eligible Faculty and Professional Staff

Initial paperwork is completed through the SWAGÊÓƵ People Admin Records portal. Information on how to access the portal will be communicated in a separate email. Completion of these forms is the basis for establishing systems access and it is therefore recommended to complete them promptly.

Benefit elections will also be made through the People Admin Record portal. Before making those elections, be sure to review Benefits Resources for New Hires.
