How do I find out if my employer offers tuition assistance, and how do I use it?

Check your employee benefits portal, HR website or intranet, or employee handbook for terms like Tuition Assistance, Tuition Reimbursement, Education Benefits, or Learning & Development. If you don't see anything listed, ask HR directly, since not every employer promotes the benefit widely.

Ask HR whether your organization offers it, whether you're eligible, whether approval is required before you enroll, whether there are annual limits or a repayment obligation if you leave, and what documentation you'll need. Some employers manage the benefit directly through HR, while others use a platform such as Tuition.io, Edcor, or Bright Horizons EdAssist Solutions®. If yours does, you'll typically log in with your employee credentials, review your benefits, and submit any required approval before enrolling.

Once you know your benefit exists, contact an Admissions Advisor, who can help you apply it to an eligible ACHS program.
