Am I eligible to receive reimbursement for a professional development course I took?

Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)

Eligibility requirements are outlined in section 5.4.2 of Humber’s Professional Development Policy. Eligible employee groups include the following:

  • All full-time (Admin, Support and Academic) employees with six months or more of service are eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $1,000 per fiscal year for tuition fees only. This includes employees on sabbatical or maternity/paternity leave.
  • The following part-time/contract employee groups with a minimum of one year of continuous service are eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $500 per fiscal year for tuition fees only:
    • Part-time/contract admin employees
    • Regular part-time support staff
    • All part-time/contract academic employees, including clinical contracts, NFT professor contracts, CE contracts, partial load contracts, sessional professor contracts, NFT Counsellors and NFT Librarians.
  • TAP provides reimbursement for tuition fees only, for courses taken at an accredited post-secondary institution or professional association. This includes Humber and University of Guelph-Humber courses if they were not taken at the discounted employee rate of $20.
  • Reimbursements will only be paid upon successful completion of the course. A course must be completed within the current fiscal year (April 1 – March 31) to be eligible for reimbursement. A course completed in the previous fiscal year will not be approved for reimbursement.
  • For more information on the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), including the steps to apply for reimbursement, please visit the TAP section of the Tuition Reimbursement and Scholarships website.

Note: Any questions regarding tuition reimbursement for dependents of employees are not related to TAP and should be directed to the Total Rewards Team.
