Core Benefits
Naropa University provides a core benefits package to all full-time, regular employees of the university. In addition, benefits-eligible employees may purchase some core benefits for their qualified dependents. Core benefits include:
Also, the University provides group rates for employee-paid programs including:

Like other small employers, Naropa strives to provide cost effective benefits plans. As a result, our plans are designed as consumer-driven health care plans and vary in cost depending on the benefits selected. On average, we share the cost of benefits with the employee 65/35%.

The list of fringe benefits is extensive. We’ve highlighted a few of these benefits here for you:

Time Away From Work
In addition to our core and fringe benefits, Naropa offers an exceptional array of time away from work benefits including vacation leave, sick leave, personal days, holidays, personal development leave and staff sabbatical. Time away from work benefits are provided for all regular staff positions 17.5/hours per week or greater and most benefits begin accruing immediately upon hire.
Tuition Remission Benefits
Each year, many of Naropa’s staff and faculty take advantage of our generous tuition remission benefit. Whether it’s to take a class for audit or to complete a degree program, Naropa encourages its employees to experience the classroom for themselves through academic courses or extended studies courses.
Many tuition remission benefits are also provided for employees’ spouses/partners and children. The amount and type depends on the employee’s status and years of service.
