I'm ready, but overwhelmed!

Find out how your reimbursement works. We usually try to keep all tuition and fees to a minimum. If they are just paying you a fixed stipend at the end, that's what you'll want. Luckily that goes hand in hand with going fast.

However, if they are covering actual tuition spent, they may not cover the cost of alternative credit sources we usually recommend or some of the other fees (residency waiver, etc...) that most of our plans have. In that case, you may want to do things a bit differently.

Yes, I forgot about this.

My husband's tuition reimbursement, for example, DOES include the costs for exams like CLEP & DSST, but won't include any "membership" costs like SL and Study.com.  Nor will they pay for anything like Shmoop (a monthly fee).  So I planned his degree out using CLEP, DSST, UExcel, TECEP, Davar, Ed4Credit, Sophia, CSU-Global, etc.
