SAGE Employer Tuition Reimbursement

A student receiving employer tuition reimbursement is required to provide the Student Accounts office with a letter from their employer prior to the first scheduled day of classes identifying the employee-student and the terms of the employer's reimbursement policy.

Assuming the necessary documentation has been received, the Student Accounts office will recognize the employer's tuition payment policy and defer receipt of tuition and/or fees accordingly.

Future semester deferments are only available to students who fulfill their payment obligations in accordance with the employer reimbursement plan. Failure to do so will result in a $150.00 late fee.
