Applications can be obtained from the Human Resources Department.  

Special Note:  The tuition reimbursement budget for FY 10/11 has been significantly reduced which will have an affect on the amount of reimbursement granted to eligible employees.  Please be advised that if your application is not received in the Department of Human Resources by Tuesday, February 1, 2011, you will not be eligible to receive reimbursement for your coursework.  Due to the lack of funds and the # of participants, we will not be in a position to process late applications or to accommodate exceptions.   

It is the employee’s responsibility to ensure that their application is received in the Human Resources office by Tuesday, February 1, 2011.  Please follow-up with our department if you have any questions or concerns regarding the status of your application. Once applications are reviewed, employees will receive a copy of their application and reimbursement amount sent via interoffice to your Director’s office for distribution.
