What is displayed in this section?


Back to the Top

The columns of information displayed on the Tuition Assistance section is to help you know a little more about the status of your employees' tuition assistance achievements.


The columns of information displayed in the 'Tuition Assistance' section is to help you identify each tuition assistance record listed.  To track each course request with reimbursement, look to the Status and Paid Date columns. 

Let's look at the example above to help you understand how this page might look.  In this above example, let’s say the employee was accepted into the tuition assistance program.  There are five classes your employee needs to attend and complete for the full completion of the tuition assistance programs.  Currently, your employee has completed two classes (with one pending approval for payment), your employee is currently taking the third class and have requested the next class.  The table orders the requests by the Request Date so the historical information is at the top with the more recent information at the bottom.   

Column Name  What the Information Is Actions Available 
Student The Student is the name of your employee who is in the tuition assistance program The column is sortable by clicking on the Student link. Additionally, you can sort by ascending/descending order. 
Request Date The Request Date indicates the date the tuition assistance was entered into the system. The column is sortable by clicking on the Request Date link. Additionally, you can sort by ascending/descending order. 
Provider The Provider indicates who is providing the training class. The column is sortable by clicking on the Provider link. Additionally, you can sort by ascending/descending order.

Amounts The column displays the Amount of the class is going to cost. This is basically the cost that the tuition reimbursement request and will be consider and approved or disapproved.
Paid Date This Paid Date column is blank until the tuition assistance request for training class has the status of 'Complete.'  Then this column indicates where your employee is in progress of getting the reimbursement.'

There are few statuses you can see here:

  • Pending Pay Approval - This status is the initial status for reimbursement approval process.  It is kicked off when your employee enters the information to complete the training class. 
  • Pay Approved - This status is what the request gets when the reimbursement request has been approved.  It will remain at this status until the 'Paid Date' is entered by the appropriate person.
  • Paid Date - This is the date the training class was reimbursed.
  • Pay Approval Denied - If the approval for the reimbursement is not approved, this is the status you will see.   
Status This is overall Status of where your employee is with the tuition assistance request process for the training class entered. 

There are few statuses you can see here:

  • Pending Approval - This status is the initial status for tuition assistance approval requests.  It kicks off the approval process.
  • In Progress - This status is what the request gets when the tuition assistance request has been approved.  It will remain at this status until your employee has the information to complete the class for re-imbursement.
  • Complete - Once your employee enters the information to indicate that it is complete, this is the final status for the training class and it kicks off the second approval process for reimbursement which is tracked and seen in the 'Paid Date' column.
  • Approval Denied - If the approval for the tuition assistance is not approved, this is the status you will see.
