Submitting your claim online is the quickest and easiest way to be reimbursed from your plan. To submit your application for Tuition Reimbursement please follow these steps:

1.  Submit your application online: Once logged into your online account, go to the Tools & Support menu. In the Quick Links section click on Tuition Reimbursement Application (For most plans this application should be submitted prior to course start date)

This will launch the online application form. Complete all course details and manager contact information for approval and submit form.

**Please note: You will need to submit a reimbursement request for each course. 

**Requested Amount should be the total fees associated with that course. Please check your plan's policies to see what expenses are covered e.g. - books, supplies, other fees, etc. You can include any covered fees in the total requested amount. If there are covered fees that cover multiple courses, you may only be reimbursed once for those fees. The fee can be added to one reimbursement request only.

**The application is limited to 2 uploaded documents. If you have multiple documents you may combine multiple documents into one document to upload. You may also send any additional documentation to us by email.

2.   Approval Request Sent to Manager : Your manager will receive notification by email of your submitted request which will include a copy of the application. Manager will Approve or Deny request. Once manager submits decision, you will receive a notification with the updated status of your application. If your claim is denied, the reason entered by your manager will be included in the email. Please contact your manager directly with any questions about application denials.

3.  Approved Claim Entered To Online Account: Once Sentinel receives approval notification from your manager, the claim will be entered into your annual Tuition Reimbursement account and placed in an "On Hold" status.
