Transfers Between Classified and Unclassified Service within the Same Agency

If you transfer from a classified position in a state college or university to an unclassified position for the first time, your retirement plan membership remains unchanged.

If you are a member of ARP or the SERS Hybrid Plan and transfer from an unclassified position in a state college or university to a classified position, you must be enrolled in the appropriate SERS tier as of the date of hire.

Please see your agency’s Human Resources Officer to complete a Form CO-931h, “Designation of Retirement System-Tier-Plan-Beneficiary for Higher Education Employment Only”.
