The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) offers a phase-in program that allows faculty, professional staff, and classified employees to phase in their retirement by lowering their Full Time Equivalency (FTE) in the years prior to official retirement.
The phase-in request is not a guaranteed benefit; it is an application process. The application must be approved at the department level before it is forwarded to the Provost / President for review. If approved, the Phase-in Application is governed by a formal contract between the eligible employee and the Nevada System of Higher Education. Please contact your Human Resources Office or the BCN Benefits Office for more information on the Phase-in Retirement Program.
