Here's exciting news for university employees, especially University Support Staff (USS). The university will offer an option to each USS employee to voluntarily reclassify his/her position to an Unclassified Professional (UP) position. This will allow the university to improve employee equity, simplify the employee structure and increase efficiency in employee processes. All USS employees will have the choice to move to Unclassified Professional staff or choose to remain in your current USS classification.

This introductory communication will give a general overview of the transition process and answer general questions regarding the transition from USS to UP. Beginning in February 2016, general informational meetings will be held to provide more detailed information and answer questions. USS employees will also receive personalized letters with detailed information regarding your optional individual transition choices and retirement plan options.
