While many of our benefits are listed here, eligibility for these benefits vary and may be based on hours worked and position.
Full-time, permanent employees can choose from several different medical, dental and vision insurance plans. Health coverage is not currently offered to part-time employees. All plans have the option to include family members. ACC pays for a portion of the insurance coverage for our Faculty and Administrative staff to help offset the total cost.

PERA is the 21st largest pension plan in the U.S., and provides retirement and other benefits to more than 400 government agencies and public entities in the state of Colorado.
