I wanted to highlight two important health-related pieces of information in case you missed them in the longer, biweekly Faculty Update.
Complete Your Preventive Care Requirement The Preventive Care Incentive Program (PCIP) is a UT System program administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) that encourages UT SELECT members to complete an annual preventive care exam. UT SELECT active employees and covered spouses must complete a qualifying exam by Monday, Feb. 28, 2027, to avoid a $50 monthly premium differential beginning in May 2027.
Personal and Professional Circumstances, Faculty Leaves, and Related Policies at UT Austin Information Session Friday, Oct. 16 | 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. | GSB 3.138 The Provost’s Faculty Affairs team will host an information session focused on Personal and Professional Circumstances, Faculty Leaves, and Related Policies at UT Austin for current faculty and administrators. The session will share information about probationary period (tenure clock) extensions for tenure-track faculty, personal circumstances flags for tenured and professional-track faculty, modified instructional duties, personal and professional leaves, and external appointments for tenured faculty. Join us to learn more about the options and policies supporting faculty navigating personal and professional circumstances.
Stay well!
