Tuition Reimbursement
The Baltimore County School System offers employees tuition reimbursement for the purpose of certification and educational enrichment.

To review the system’s policy refer to Rule 4148.

In order to receive reimbursement you should adhere to the following:

  • Complete a Tuition Reimbursement Form (Teachers Only, all others use this form). Forms are available at all schools and can be secured by the schools
  • Attach an official transcript or certificate for continuing education units, to the reimbursement form. Include social security numbers on all documents
  • Attach a statement of fees (tuition statement) for all courses. Tax forms, cancelled checks, and credit card bills are not accepted. Proof of only the tuition cost is necessary.

The school system will reimburse up to nine (9) semester hours per fiscal year. The reimbursement cycle is from July 1 to June 30th. If a program requires more than nine hours per year appropriate documentation from the college must be submitted for further consideration. Cohort and/or partnership classes are part of the nine credits per year limit.

The rate as of July 1, 2007 is $250 per semester hour. Reimbursement for completed course work can be expected approximately eight (8) to ten (10) weeks following the receipt of the appropriate documents by the Office of Certification. When reimbursement is not being requested, submit only the original grade report or transcript or the original certificate of completion for CEU’s.

Questions may be directed to the Office of Certification at 410-887-4147.
