TIAA Retirement Contribution Change Quiet Period: July 18 - August 11
From July 18 through August 11, NMU will be transitioning to TIAA's Online Self Service Portal and as a result, will be in a Quiet Period with TIAA during this period.
During the Quiet Period, you will not be able to:
- Start a new TIAA contribution
- Change an existing TIAA contribution
- End a TIAA contribution
During the Quiet Period, you will continue to be able to:
- Make investment changes
- Add or change beneficiaries
- View account balances
NMU's Go Live date with TIAA's Online Self Service Portal is set for August 12. Upon "Going Live", NMU employees will again be able to make contribution changes, but they will be done exclusively online in TIAA's portal. Changes entered August 12 through August 17 would take effect on the August 28 payroll (Payroll #18). Therefore, Payroll 17, paid on August 14th, is the only payroll date that we cannot accept TIAA Contribution Changes. This is a standard practice to ensure the data NMU has regarding contributions can be updated in the new system without missing any changes.
To make changes before the Quiet Period begins, please contact Kimberly Hongisto at x2470 or khongist@nmu.edu. Requests received after July 17, 2025 will not be honored.
