Participation
If you are classified by the University as a regular employee, have a normal work schedule of at least 50% of a full-time schedule, and have an appointment of nine months or more duration, you may participate in the Boston University Retirement Plan.
As an eligible employee, you can participate in the plan beginning on the first day of the month in which you complete two years of service with the University.
Any prior eligible service will be applied toward your two-year waiting period. These provisions apply only to the eligibility waiting period.
