Taking Courses at Carnegie Mellon

1. Register for the course(s) through the HUB by the course registration deadline.
   • If you aren't in a formal degree program, register as a Non-Degree Student.
2. Apply for Employee Tuition Benefits Through HR Connection: the application and all supporting documentation must be received by Human Resources at least two weeks before the start of classes.
3. Carnegie Mellon will remit payment to The HUB on your behalf.
4. If you receive a tuition bill from Carnegie Mellon, note on the bill that you are an employee receiving tuition benefits and return it to The HUB.   (Note: activities fees and transportation fees are waived for employees.)
5. Tuition remission credits will not be posted until after the university's official add/drop deadline to emloyee student accounts. This is to allow for semester adjustments to student accounts.

Taking Courses at Another Institution

1. Register for the course(s) according to the institution's registration procedures.
2. Apply for Employee Tuition Benefits Through HR Connection: the application and all supporting documentation must be received by Human Resources at least two weeks before the start of classes.
   • Submit a copy of the course description(s) and the invoice showing tuition charges. Your application will be held until all three pieces are received.
3. Carnegie Mellon will mail you a check, made payable to the other institution, for your eligible tuition assistance.
   • It is your responsibility to give this check to the school you are attending.  If you have already paid the charges, ask the other institution for a refund in the amount of Carnegie Mellon's payment.
4. At the end of the course, send a copy of your grade to Human Resources to demonstrate successful completion of the course (a grade of C or better). You will not be eligible for future payments until this is received.
