Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment 2025 image

Open Enrollment for 2025 benefits is here! Enroll from October 31 through November 22 at 5 p.m. 

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to maximize the comprehensive health benefits available to you as a UC employee. Please click on the UCnet Open Enrollment website to review information for the upcoming plan year. With significant increases in medical plan costs - despite UC covering a larger share of premiums - it’s more important than ever to make sure you understand your options and costs.

How to Enroll 

Sign in to UCPath online with your Calnet credentials at ucpath.universityofcalifornia.edu and look for the OPEN ENROLLMENT banner on the home page. If you have trouble logging in, go to mycalnet.berkeley.edu for more information.

If you want to find the best plan, or you have questions about how your insurance works, you can get help from the online benefits coach, ALEX®. Your session with ALEX® is personalized, fun to use, and confidential. 

UC is offering the same high-quality health plans as last year. However, there are a few important changes you should know about, including changes to copayment amounts and prescription costs. Please review the Open Enrollment materials to learn more. 


One-on-one phone consultations

  • A 15-minute telephone consultation with a UC Berkeley Benefits Representative will be available on November 6, November 13, and November 20. Please register to schedule an appointment. If you do not have computer access, please call us at 510-517-8962 to schedule your appointment today.
