Week 3 - Tuition Reimbursement

Well I just realized I made a $4200 mistake. My employer reimburses tuition up to $5200 per year. In order to be reimbursed you must file a request within 10 days of the first day of class. Well a few days ago I realized in all the excitement of the new semester and trying to get my degree plan taken care of I did not get my request in on time. So I will not be reimbursed for this semester.
This is a great example of what can happen when you are stretched too thin. I will eventually use the reimbursement with this summer and fall semester but it was still a costly mistake. The lesson stay organized and focused. Make lists and stick to them.

  1. Hi, Margarita, I know about tution and financial planning. My husband do the bill and whenever I challenge him, he ask me if I want to them (Heck no!) I am a senior, working and dealing with my husband colon cancer. My plate is full. God be with you and help you with patience.

  2. That is frustrating. I forgot to do turn it in with my first summer semester. I was told if you call them then sometimes they will manke special special arrangements. I never did it but it might be worth a phone call. Good Luck.
