Tuition reimbursement is tied to Career Ladder Levels 1-4. Career Ladder members qualify for partial tuition reimbursement for courses in which they receive a C or better. Reimbursement is granted regardless of a career goal to members at Levels 1 or 2. Members at Level 3 and 4 must declare a credential goal (i.e. teacher, psychologist, counselor). Reimbursement is based on the number of units completed during a single term and Ladder Level two weeks prior to reimbursement deadlines.

*All requests must be submitted within 6 months of taking the class or test.

Ladder Level is determined by both the educational benchmarks and the approved Performance Assessments. Please allow 2-4 weeks for processing after all documents have been received.

The amount of tuition reimbursement is determined by both the Ladder Level of the participant and the number of units successfully completed in a particular semester or quarter. 
NOTE: Any Level 3, 4, or 5 participant who takes a community college course will be reimbursed at Level 2 amounts.
