Empoyer Benefits

Many businesses today offer educational benefits to their employees. The process is different for each employer, but there are a few steps you'll need to follow here in order to register and pay for courses using your employer's benefits.

  1. Check With Your Employer - Your human resources department for specific details on the types of programs that are covered under their tuition assistance benefits. Find out what actions or documents may be needed and ensure they are completed timely; this may be before or after course completion.
  2. Register for Courses - Many employers may not pay up front for courses but require successful completion after which they will reimburse you. To find other available resources to pay for your education explore the Financial Aid Basics and Paying Out of Pocket pages.
  3. Submit for Reimbursement - Be sure to turn in any required proof of completion, grades, or forms needed to process your reimbursement.

Submitting Employer Vouchers

  • Prior to registration, ask your employer to complete and submit an employer voucher to our finance office – this confirms payment of tuition.
  • Fax the voucher to 866-755-8763 or email to [email protected] before your course start date (note: books are sent once the paperwork is validated and accepted, so submit the paperwork as early as possible).
  • Obtain your Employer's Identification Number (EIN) and address from any W-2, paystub, or your human resources department.
  • When you register for class, choose "Employer Voucher" as the method of payment and enter the EIN number and address.
  • If your employer prefers to pay with a credit card, we will send you an invoice with instructions on how to pay; for employer voucher questions, please email: [email protected].

Federal Government Employees

The Office of Personnel Management supports job-related studies with up to 100% tuition reimbursement for federal employees. This may also cover the cost of all required course materials.

When using federal employee tuition assistance, you will need to confirm approval and financial assistance prior to registering for courses.

You need approval by both your immediate supervisor and the local Civilian Training Director confirming that the course is directly related to your job requirements and professional development.
