FAQs / General / Can full-time faculty or professors with CUNY join TRS?
Can full-time faculty or professors with the City University of New York join TRS?
Yes. Full-time instructional staff of CUNY must join either TRS or the Optional Retirement Program offered by TIAA. If you do not join the Optional Retirement Program within 30 days of your appointment to the CUNY position, you would automatically become a TRS member. Your TRS membership would be effective as of your appointment date.
