New Faculty and Staff – SMU Benefits Enrollment

Welcome to SMU!

Now that you have completed the on-line New Employee Orientation you should have a basic understanding of the University’s Benefits Program.  More detailed information about each plan or service can be found here in Benefits U.

You should start by opening the Benefits Enrollment Checklist below.  The checklist will be your guide to ensure that you are properly enrolled in each plan.  You can link into the plan specific Benefits U pages directly from the checklist.  As you make your benefits selections complete the applicable sections of the Benefits Enrollment Form.  Print any other forms that you need and, if possible, bring your completed forms with you when you come to the Human Resources office on your first day of employment.  You will be given a folder to store copies of your Benefits forms and any plan specific informational material you wish to have easy access to.
