Section V
Retirement Plans

Texas A&M University-Commerce offers several retirement plans. Employees are eligible for the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) pension plan. Employees who are department heads, faculty, or in certain professional positions, may elect, instead, to participate in the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP). Both plans are partially funded by the A&M System. Employees may also set up a Tax-Deferred Annuity (TDA), which will allow them to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. Please contact the Retirement Services Coordinator at 903-886-5025 for further information.
