Step 1: 

Confirm your educational institution is accredited.

• Verify the educational institution is on the list of accredited institutions. If the institution is not listed, the course is not eligible for reimbursement.
• Certificate and licensing programs must be provided by an accredited institution, or an institution otherwise recognized by the license-granting body and must provide education that supports the core duties of an internal Harvard position. Please contact Harvard Benefits at 617-496-4001 or benefits@harvard.edu prior to enrolling in a certificate or licensing program to confirm program eligibility.

Step 2: 

Upon successful completion of the course, submit your tuition reimbursement application.

Please select the appropriate application below. Applications and documentation must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the last day of the class. You will need to upload proof of cost and proof of payment at the time you submit your application.

If you are not able to obtain the required documentation within 60 days of the last day of the course, you MUST contact Harvard Benefits before the deadline to discuss an extension.

They must submit their approval within 60 days of the last day of the course or your claim will be denied. You will be notified by email once they have completed the process.
