Some of the benefits on the following pages are available to all UUP-represented employees and some are member-only benefits. Most appointment letters will note if you are benefit eligible, however if you are not sure, or for a FULL list of benefits, please contact the UUP Benefit Trust Fund at 1-800-887-3863 for more information.

It is important to remember that all of these benefits are negotiated through the collective strength of over 37,000 members standing together and speaking with one voice.

This negotiated benefit allows UUP-represented academic and professional employees who work full time or part time to take one course each semester and special session (e.g., summer session and intercession) from a UUP-represented state-operated SUNY campus tuition free, as long as space is available in the course. Fees other than tuition are paid by the employee. Those interested in applying should contact Human Resources at the institution they will be attending. UUP chapter offices can also provide information about the process and address member questions. (Contract Article 49)
