All Exempt employees have a choice of the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement.
System (MPSERS) and the Optional Retirement Plans (ORP), TIAA. Union members, please refer
to your bargaining contract. The employee must make a selection within ninety (90) days from
the full-time start date. Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed. Both plans require
employee contribution through payroll deduction.

MPSERS is a “defined benefit” plan, and contributions are deducted on a graded scale
that is determined by the State of Michigan Department of Management and Budget.
MPSERS is the default plan, and all employees are automatically enrolled upon
employment until a choice is made within 75 days of the employee’s first pay. A copy of
the handbook and information can be found at:

o TIAA is a defined contribution plan and 3.9 percent is deducted as employee
contribution. The College contributes 12 percent to this plan. Campus Safety and UAW
are not eligible for this benefit.

Once you have elected the TIAA option as your retirement plan, you must create an
account in order for your funds to be accepted by TIAA through this link

All employees are eligible to participate in the tax sheltered annuity program. For information

Employees who wish to take advantage of the WCCCD Employee Tuition Waiver Program must register for classes online via WebGate. After registering, the employee completes a Tuition Waiver Form. 

Employees will need an identification number (or “A” number) to enter the web gate. The identification number may be obtained by reviewing their paystubs.

All tuition waiver requests for staff and faculty must be signed by the Campus President/Vice-Chancellor. Tuition waiver requests for spouses and dependent children do not need the President/Vice Chancellor's signature.

In addition, employee tuition waivers for the semester will be issued on the last day of registration. This deadline will be strictly adhered to and no employee tuition waivers will be issued or approved after this date – no exceptions!! 

Should you have questions regarding program eligibility or to obtain an employee tuition waiver form, please contact the Human Resources Department at (313) 496-2765. https://www.wcccd.edu/dept/hr_tuition%20waiver.htm

Tuition assistance is available to full-time staff and part-time faculty under the guidelines and terms of the appropriate bargaining agreement or District policy. The employee must successfully complete each course, remain a regular employee, and be active on the payroll for the entire term in which tuition assistance is provided.

If the employee should, for any reason, not meet these requirements, the employee forfeits the tuition assistance benefit and is required to reimburse the District for the full amount. No reimbursement will be made for other fees, including lab fees, parking fees, books, school supplies, etc.

1. Credit Course - Tuition assistance for-credit courses from accredited colleges and universities is administered by the Human Resources Office. These courses must be taken after normal working hours. The employee must have an Associate of Arts Degree or equivalent hours. These courses must be courses that are not offered by WCCCD to be reimbursed. The course must be career-oriented, required as part of a degree program, and related to work within the district environment.

2. Under Federal Law, graduate tuition assistance is considered taxable income. Therefore, when an employee possessing an undergraduate degree takes a course which could be taken for graduate credit, the tuition assistance for that course is taxed.

3. Tuition reimbursement will be awarded only when an official final grade report of “satisfactory” or better and an original fee receipt indicating a zero balance has been received.
