Tuition Approval form

Steps for receiving reimbursement

PRIOR to taking a course, submit tuition approval form to principal/administrator for signature, then forward to Human Resources for final approval. You will receive a signed copy of the form informing you whether the course has been approved or not.

Upon completion of the course, submit the following items to Human Resources:

• Completed claim form
• Fee receipt for paid tuition or books (if applicable)
• Grade slip or transcript
• Signature of supervisor and account codes 

Interpretation: See individual contracts for exact language.

• District shall reimburse 50% tuition and book expense not to exceed a total of nine credits in any one fiscal year for course work (MSEA Paraprofessionals, Confidential contracts)
• District shall reimburse 50% tuition and book expense for up to three credits per academic session not to exceed a total of nine credits in any one fiscal year for course work (CLASS, Building Service Employees, Mechanics contracts)
• District shall reimburse 50% tuition, and required course fees, application fees and books up to $150 per course for up to 9 credits in any one fiscal year for advanced (graduate level) college course work (AST)
• The above table may serve as a guide to determining the amount of credits the district will reimburse for approved courses. This table is based on the conversion that 1 semester credit equals 1.5 quarter credits.
• There are some instances where a higher learning organization does not use a semester or quarter system. These will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
