LCC Retiree Benefits

LCC retirement plan benefits are administered by the Office of Retirement Services (ORS) through the Michigan Public School Employees' Retirement System (MPSERS). Some retirees who served as Full-Time Faculty or Administrator may have elected benefits through the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP), which is administered through TIAA. Information about retirement/pension benefits should be directed to MPSERS (800-381-5111) or TIAA (800-842-2252).

Upon request, the retiree will be provided a retiree email account and access to limited Help Desk information for LCC email accounts. Contact the Help Desk for more information.

The retiree may retain their LCC ID card for access to the library and on campus LCC-sponsored sporting events. Open computer lab access is also available at specified times for retirees as posted by lab staff.

The retiree, spouse, and IRS eligible dependents may take LCC courses tuition free (not to exceed 8 credits per family, per semester). A retiree or family member may be dropped to prevent displacing paying students. All fees associated with the course(s) will be paid by the retiree or family members.

Visit the LCC Tuition Waiver webpage to learn more.

Upon request, campus publications, such as The Lookout, will be mailed to retirees. Retirees must notify the College when they no longer wish to receive publications.  Contact Larry Hook at hookl@star.lcc.edu for more information on The Lookout. 

Each year, LCC hosts a Retiree Luncheon where retirees can come back to campus, hear what's new with LCC from Executive Leadership, and enjoy lunch with some great company.  Contact Nikki Cogswell at cogsweln@star.lcc.edu for more information.
