Tuition Reimbursement

Teachers use the same pot of money for both Tuition Reimbursement and Student Loan Reimbursement.

Eligibility

  • You must be an active participant of ProComp and must have a status of active with benefits (AB), leave with pay (LP), leave summer pay/benefits (LR), or FMLA leave (LF status in Lawson, which is currently unused) at the time of accrual, submission, and payout in order to receive payment for this incentive.
  • Prior to beginning any coursework, the employee's principal or supervisor must review and approve the coursework for reimbursement via the Tuition Reimbursement Request Form. 
  • Employees can receive a maximum of $1000 per year (September -August) or $4000 lifetime educational  reimbursement whether it is tuition, student loan reimbursement or a combination of both.
  • Only courses taken at an accredited university or college or nationally associated institutions are eligible for reimbursement.  Test fees are NOT reimbursable.
  • Graduate level courses are eligible for reimbursement.
  • Courses that qualify as continuing education, seminars, workshops, conferences and books for class are also eligible for reimbursement.
  • Reimbursement will be approved only for classes, coursework, workshops, etc. taken after your ProComp enrollment effective date.
  • Grades must be a grade of D or above, Pass or Satisfactory.

How to Receive Payment

  • You must complete the course or receive credit for the course.
  • You must be an active participant of ProComp and must have a status of active with benefits (AB), leave with pay (LP), leave summer pay/benefits (LR), or FMLA leave (LF status in Lawson, which is currently unused) at the time of payout in order to receive payment. 
  • To start the process, the employee faxes the Tuition Reimbursement Request Form, signed by the Principal or supervisor, to Payroll & Business Services at 720-423-3854, including the documentation below: 
    • For courses taken at a college or university, documentation generally must include proof of accreditation, transcripts/grade report, and paid receipt/verification of payment.
    • For courses not taken at a college or university, documentation generally must include proof of nationally associated institution and paid receipt/verification of payment.
  • Employees who submit completed paperwork and documentation by the payroll deadline (currently the 10th of the month) will be paid on the end of the month paycheck.  If you miss the payroll deadline, you will be paid the following month, provided you are still in an eligible status at the time of payout.
  • Employees may submit more than one reimbursement request.
  • Tuition reimbursement payments are not considered taxable income and will not appear on the employee's W-2.
