Employer Tuition Reimbursement Guidelines:

  • Available to Part-time and Graduate students only
  • An employer’s letter on letterhead or a signed Professional Development School (PDS) form must be submitted prior to enrollment in the Employer Tuition Reimbursement Program. Employment verification letter can be emailed to studentaccounts@centenaryuniversity.edu.
  • The employment verification letter must be submitted at the first term of enrollment. A new employment verification letter must be submitted at the beginning of each academic year (Fall – Summer) thereafter. Enrollment period in the Employer Tuition Reimbursement Program is through the last day of add/drop. Students must submit and be enrolled in a payment plan before the first payment due date of the first enrolled term or you will be subject to late fees. Only those students submitting their employment verification letter by the deadline will be considered an Employer Tuition Reimbursement student. There are no exceptions.
  • Once employer verification is received, you will have access to the deferred payment plan in your self-service portal. **You must enroll in a payment plan prior to the first due date of each term, or you will be subject to late fees.**
  • Tuition Payment Plan information can be viewed here.

  • A payment method is required at the time of enrolling into the deferred payment plan each term.
  • If an employer requires grades to be submitted prior to reimbursement, it is the student’s responsibility to provide grades to the employer to ensure employer reimbursement is processed in a timely fashion prior to the University’s deferred payment due date. There are no exceptions.
  • If for any reason a student is not reimbursed by their employer in a timely fashion, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure payment is made by the due date to Centenary University. There are no exceptions.
  • IMPORTANT: If payment is not made by the due date or your payment method is not successfully processed more than 2 times in an academic year, you will be subject to program removal.
