Supplemental Retirement Plans
Generally, all full-time and part-time employees are eligible to participate in a 403(b) or 457 retirement plan. However, an employee who is primarily a student is not eligible to participate in the plans.

To cancel your 403(b) contributions you will need to complete the Salary Reduction Agreement form and submit to Human Resources to stop contributions.
