Reduce financial barriers to support employee upskilling
Unlock a greater impact with your tuition assistance program
Enhance your Tuition Assistance Benefit with Tuition Direct
Get the best of tuition reimbursement + direct billing when you defer payment until after your employees successfully complete their courses, while also removing the need for reimbursement.

How does Tuition Direct differ from the traditional tuition reimbursement process?
- Tuition fees are not due until after a course is completed.
- Rather than reimbursing your employees for courses they passed, payment workflow stays between University of Phoenix and the employer.
Tuition Direct can help encourage upskilling to support career growth.

Easy to implement
Because University of Phoenix Tuition Direct follows almost the exact same process as corporate tuition reimbursement programs, it’s easy to implement. Students still need to obtain your organization’s approval, and provide documentation required per your policies, so there’s little to no disruption to your existing workflows.



Streamline with third-party administrators
If your organization uses a third-party administrator for tuition assistance, most providers can accommodate the Tuition Direct program as part of their Direct Bill workflow.

Delay payments
Payment for coursework completed with passing grades is invoiced directly to your organization after each course is completed. Should your employee not meet the grade requirement of your tuition assistance policy, no payment is due by your organization!
