Educational Assistance

What are the differences between employee training fees and tuition fees?

  •  
  • Employee Training Fees provide training in areas that develop an employee's knowledge, skill, and ability to perform the duties of his/her present job; such as courses on computer usage or management skills development. Contact departmental training coordinator for information.
  • Tuition Fees are those costs for courses included in an academic program directly related to the employee s job or field of work and which are necessary to complete a degree program from an accredited educational institution. Contact departmental training coordinator for information.


If the state requires an employee to have and maintain a professional license or certificate as a condition of employment, fees directly associated with obtaining or renewing that license or certificate (i.e. application fees) are not reimbursable, except that tuition and registration costs incurred may be reimbursed.
