STATE OF CONNECTICUT TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM

This page last updated on January 21, 2022

OVERVIEW

Why Use this Guide?

The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) and the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) have prepared this guide primarily as a reference tool for State Tuition Reimbursement Officers (TROs).  State employees and managers will also benefit by using this guide to apply for benefits under this program. 

This guide gives TROs the general information needed to process applications correctly and consistently for State employees.  We also hope that this document addresses fully and clearly questions asked by past participants so that future participants will know exactly what they need to do in order to be reimbursed and what the criteria are for their particular situation.

How will DAS and OSC Communicate Changes to the Guide?
The Guide is dedicated to a continuing commitment to quality customer service by the Department of Administrative Services and the Office of the State Comptroller. 

The Department of Administrative Services will maintain the information contained within the Guide and will advise TROs of changes so that they will have the most up-to-date tuition reimbursement information.  Whenever practicable, this updated information will be distributed via e-mail to all TROs statewide and made available on-line via the DAS Website - Human Resources Page and/or the OSC website - Comptroller's Manuals - State of Connecticut Tuition Reimbursement Program.  We have organized this guide to give TROs general information and resources to provide you with more details, as necessary. 

We ask TROs for assistance in keeping this Guide current and as user-friendly and user-relevant as possible.  One way to do this is to bring questions you receive from your agency's employees to our attention.  Another is to communicate changes to the TROs listed in Addendum A.  Additionally, if readers have any difficulty finding information in the Guide or if you have an idea to make this guide more useful, please send an e-mail message to Shari Grzyb, DAS Human Resources Management at Shari.Grzyb@ct.gov.
