Health Savings Accounts are regulated by the IRS and have limits of how much money you can contribute in one year. It is your responsibility to ensure that your totals do not exceed the IRS limits.
Single (one person) is $3,650 and family (more than one person) is $7,300. If you are over 55 you can increase the limit by $1000. It is important to include the HSA contribution received from NMC in your calculations. For example- the family amount is reduced by $2,600 (NMC deposit), making the total you can contribute from your paycheck $4,700.

Kudos to Ben Post & Mark DeLonge: Thank you to Ben and Mark for enrolling EES Joint Offering (credit classes for community enrollment) students in Moodle! The EES team appreciates your support so that our community members can enjoy high quality credit classes on the Extended Education (non credit) side.
Kudos to the Facilities team for their work to quickly rectify the HVAC failure in the Timothy J Nelson Innovation Center during Welcome Week. The failure was accidental and out of their control and their quick response was very much appreciated. Also, Kudos to all faculty/staff and students in the building for your patience during the repair work. We appreciate your understanding.
Kudos to Marcus Bennett, Sally Smarsty, Lisa Thomas and more: Kudos to everyone involved in Welcome week planning and orchestration. There were many moving parts and everyone was very well informed on where to be and what to do. Volunteers, parents and students all seemed to be having a good time and feeling WELCOME!!! Great job everyone!
Kudos to Linda Berlin, Judy Arnold, and Dale Elshoff who deserve more than kudos for their work supporting students in the Plant and Soil Sciences degree pathway. NMC and Michigan State University are partners in a one-of-a-kind program which allows students to earn an Associate of Applied Science Degree from NMC and a Certificate from MSU’s Institute of Agricultural Technology. Unfortunately, the financial aid policy for these students was changed with less than a month before fall semester. While most community colleges panicked, Linda, Judy and Dale sprung into action, working individually with each student to provide the necessary aid and support to stay enrolled in courses. To the students, it seemed seamless, but behind the scenes, it took hours of work, coordination, FA application updates, leading meetings with Financial Aid directors from around the State and back and forth with MSU. Linda, Judy and Dale put the students first and found a way to support them. I am sure students at other institutions were not so lucky, jeopardizing their respective ag cohorts. We at NMC should be very proud of their work, effort and sacrifice when it comes to serving our students! They went above and beyond and truly saved the day for our program!

Kudos to Michael Chrypinski and the facilities team: Michael and the facilities team permanently installed a large banner on the side of the University Center building ahead of the Boardman Lake Loop Trail Ribbon Cutting ceremony. This task had a tight deadline and they rose to the occasion to make sure it was installed before the event started. Kudos!
Kudos to the Admissions Team: The Admissions team lead by Rorie Kawula and Kevin D’Alessandro, went above and beyond to meet the needs of our students by organizing in-person Open Houses in August. For three Saturday’s they offered an in-person event for new and returning students that had a variety of services including tours, NMC presentations, and application/registration assistance. They also partnered with Financial aid and Housing in order to offer more resources and information for students. This coupled with a targeted marketing campaign clearly reached our community and resulted in student satisfaction and enrollment.

Kudos to Dave Weaver: Dave and the” IT Team” have been a valuable and consistent resource for technology assistance throughout my time here at Northwestern Michigan College. I really appreciated the quick and thorough answers offered, and the willingness to work with the Macintosh environment.
Kudos to The Educational Technology Team: they have been quick to respond to the changing needs of faculty for as long as I have been at Northwestern Michigan College. From the time when Bob Chauvin led the department, with many of the same techs that work with Kyle Morrison, I have always been impressed with the awesome support from this department. Thank you, folks!
Kudos to Fred Cook: Fred Cook has been an awesome team player and quality individual as part of the Great Lakes campus team. Kind, considerate, and willing to help. I appreciate Fred’s enthusiasm and hard work, as is evident in the appearance of the GL campus.

Kudos to Glenn Wolff: This summer, several students have shared with us examples of Glenn going above and beyond to help them as a faculty advisor and we wanted to take a moment to say Thank You! Whether it is still meeting with a student even if they do not want to continue with an art major or walking them through completing orientation, Glenn is a great example of going above and beyond as a faculty advisor and we appreciate the little things he does to support us and our students!
