Robert Morris University is pleased to offer the Company
Reimbursement Program for students employed at companies
offering tuition reimbursement. The program is available to
undergraduate students enrolled in the University's School of Adult and
Continuing Education (SACE).
There is a nonrefundable fee of $25 per semester to enroll,
and a Visa, MasterCard or Discover credit card is required
to participate in the program (even if it is not charged).
The program allows students to defer payment of the
reimbursed portion of their tuition until approximately 30
days after the end of the semester. The balance must be paid
by the final balance due date regardless of whether the
student has received reimbursement from his/her employer.
Any amount not covered by the employer's reimbursement
policy must be paid in accordance with regular payment
policies set forth by the University. This amount can be paid in
three equal monthly payments according to the chart below:
| Payment Chart |
| Semester | Fall | Spring | Summer |
| Payment #1 | Oct. 1 | March 1 | June 15 |
| Payment #2 | Nov. 1 | April 1 | July 15 |
| Payment #3 | Dec. 1 | May 1 | Aug. 15 |
| Final Balance Due | Feb. 1 | June 1 | Sept. 1 |
| (reimbursement portion) |
Finance charges at a rate of 15% APR will accrue on the
student's account based on the full semester balance. Students
must pay finance charges only in the event that the account is
not paid in full on or before the final balance due date. As long
as the account remains current and is paid in full by the final
balance due date, all finance charges are waived.
Terms and Conditions
- Enrollment in the Company Reinbursement Program must be completed each semester.
- A student can prepay at any time without penalty.
- If a student becomes unemployed for any reason, experiences a change in employment status or there is a change in the employer's reimbursement policy, the
student is responsible for all tuition and fees not covered by the employer.
- If a student withdraws from a course or from the University completely, the refund policy described in the semester Schedule of Classes and on the University
website at www.rmu.edu will be in effect.
- Prior to any refunds being issued, all other financial obligations to the University must be satisfied.
- If a student account for the semester is not paid in full by the final balance due date, the credit card number held by the Student Financial Services
Office will be charged for the entire balance due.
- In the event that the balance due cannot be charged to the
credit card number provided, the University may subject
the student to penalties, including but not limited to the
withholding of academic records, denial of registration for
future terms, late payment fees, finance charges, collection
costs, reasonable attorney's fees and court costs.
How to Apply
- Each semester, a letter from the student's employer, a
completed enrollment form and the $25 nonrefundable
enrollment fee must be submitted to the Student Financial
Services Office. The letter is to contain verification of the
student's employment and his/her eligibility to participate
in the tuition reimbursement program, provide the
amount of the company's reimbursement and outline any
constraints or limitations of the employer's
reimbursement policy.
- Once the company's tuition reimbursement program is
verified by the University, the student is required to sign
a contract with the University to finalize enrollment.
- Use the budget planner worksheet below to determine your monthly payments if your
company does not reimburse 100 percent.
