A blog on the latest news and events for ACU faculty and staff
A consultant from TIAA will be offering individual counseling sessions via phone/virtual to discuss your personal financial situation and retirement investments on Oct. 23 & 26. Register for an appointment online. Appointments are limited and are reserved on a first come, first serve basis.
Staff are allowed to roll over up to 80 hours of vacation each calendar year. For 2021, the rollover date will be January 2nd. If you have more than 80 hours of vacation, you should plan to use the overage prior to January 2nd so that you do not lose that time.
ACU is committed to your health and well-being. We offer a wellness program to not only provide you with resources to live your healthiest lifestyle, but to also give you an opportunity to decrease your medical premiums.
Did you know that you can check your wellness credits through our new wellness platform Mobile Health? You can view your information through their mobile app (Apple or Google Play) or by going to their website.
As a reminder, employees and spouses covered on ACU medical plan must complete the wellness requirements by September 30, 2021, to receive wellness credit towards their 2022 premiums. The two requirements are to complete an annual exam with your doctor and receive a biometric screening or preventative lab work.

That’s it!
As part of our wellness program, employees are encouraged to receive a biometric screening. Completing this screening, along with an annual wellness exam, will fulfill your requirements to receive the full wellness discount on your 2021 premiums. Deadline is September 30, 2020. If your spouse is on ACU’s medical plan, completing both of these steps will also get them the full discount.
With today’s stress and uncertainty, we believe it is more important than ever that employees take care of themselves. Therefore, we want to make sure employees are aware of the different options available.
