The Tuition Reimbursement Program helps eligible employees get reimbursed for education expenses like tuition, exam fees, certifications, books, and more. Your personal dashboard lets you track your available benefit, see previous submissions, and keep tabs on your progress. If your employer requires pre-approval for courses, please manage this process directly with your HR team or program administrator before submitting any Tuition Reimbursement requests. Pre-approvals are not supported within the Gradifi platform.

Getting Started

• Activate your account: Look for an invitation email from your employer. Click the link to set up your Gradifi account.
• Check eligibility: You’ll see the Tuition Reimbursement tab on your dashboard if you’re eligible. If you become ineligible (for reasons like reaching the yearly limit or employment changes), a banner will explain why and offer support info.
• Understand what’s covered: Eligible event types include Tuition, Exam Fees, Professional Certifications, Conferences, Course Materials, and more. Each may require different supporting documents.

Note: All Tuition Reimbursement requests for the current calendar year must be submitted no later than December 1, 202X, at 11:59 PM PST. Please check your dashboard or program policy for confirmation of this deadline and submit your details before this date to ensure eligibility for payment.

How To Submit a Request

1. Click Submit Request in your Tuition Reimbursement dashboard.
2. Select your event type (e.g., Tuition, Exam Fee).
3. Fill in the required details. Some events may require course grades or descriptions.
4. Enter each payment amount and date (make sure payments fall within the current benefit year). Duplicate warnings may appear but won’t block you.
