Drake’s open enrollment period for benefits is held during November with the window closing at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 30. This is a hard close, but you still have time. If you have not yet reviewed or made modifications to your benefits for 2024, please do so right away.

The deadline to submit your premium discount form for 2024 is also Nov. 30.

If you still need to complete the enrollment process, you can visit the benefits portal and run through the election process in just a few short minutes. Remember that you must re-enroll in flexible spending accounts (FSA) each year—that benefit does not automatically continue from year to year. Additional information about benefits for 2024 can be accessed through the benefits page and also this temporary open enrollment page.

If you have any benefits-related or open enrollment questions, please don’t wait to ask them. Reach us at drakehr@drake.edu at any time (please, please do not wait until Nov. 30 to enroll or contact us with questions—that is cutting it too close!).
