Employer Reimbursement

Tiffin University is proud to offer a deferral program for those students with employer reimbursement.

Application

A student must request that the Office of Student Accounts enroll him/her in the program. We will then generate an Employer Reimbursement (ER) Note and Application for that note. In addition to returning the application and ER note, a copy of the employer’s reimbursement policy is also required.

Deferred Payment Application

Late fees

After a student has submitted the required paperwork and payment, the Office of Student Accounts will note on the student’s account that the remaining tuition charges will be deferred until 30 days after the end of the semester. After expiration of the grace period, an additional $50 per month late payment penalty will be charged. In addition, if the student does not make payment in full by February 1 for the fall semester, June 1 for the spring semester, or October 1 for the summer semester, the University will place the student’s account on financial hold, thus making the student ineligible to register for classes.
