EMPLOYER REIMBURSEMENT
In many cases, Film Center students requesting employer reimbursement for tuition must obtain a passing letter grade to meet reimbursement requirements. Letter grades are ONLY issued to those also enrolled for academic credit, which is optional and not included in Film Center tuition and fees. Several of the above institutions provide academic credit for Film Center courses for an additional fee. Please clarify reimbursement policies with your employer and inquire about appropriate academic credit options with the Continuing Education Coordinator at (503) 221-1156 x25.
