Tuition Reimbursement Guidelines

Tuition Reimbursement Guidelines

Tuition Reimbursement Requests are submitted through Frontline Central.

Tuition reimbursement applies to the following:

Graduate level courses only
Tuition costs only (does not include other fees for classes)
Fee for auditing a graduate level class
Courses related to your teaching assignment and your personal and professional goals

Requests for tuition reimbursement for classes taken from summer quarter through the following spring session are subject to the following rules:

Teachers will receive 50% reimbursement of the cost of the 6 most expensive graduate credits submitted. To ease bookkeeping chores, teachers will receive 50% reimbursement on the first 6 hours submitted and adjustments, if necessary, to insure reimbursement for the 6 most expensive will be made in June.
Requests in excess of 6 hours, up to a maximum of 12 hours may receive partial reimbursement as funds permit. The percent reimbursed will depend upon the total requests received from all teachers and will be divided proportionately. These requests will necessarily be acted upon in June as well. It is suggested that you submit requests throughout the year even if you have already received reimbursement for 6 hours. We will save them for action in June and you won’t have to worry about remembering to do so at the end of the year.
A copy of your receipt for the costs of any classes that you are requesting reimbursement for will need to be turned in to Human Resources with the request for tuition reimbursement by May 15.
When you receive your grade slip for classes you are reimbursed for, you will need to submit a copy to the Human Resources Department for credit hour records and for tuition reimbursement purposes. A copy of grade slips for the reimbursement year need to be turned in by June 15.

For assistance, contact the Human Resources department at extension 4010.
