employer tuition reimbursement: deferral program
Upon approval, Bellevue University will defer payment due dates of tuition and fees for 45 days from the end of class/session. This is called deferral.
Students may use the deferral program if they receive tuition assistance from their organizations. To use Bellevue University’s deferral program students must complete the deferral authorization form in its entirety*.
- Participation is voluntary and the terms and conditions of the deferral agreement are not contingent upon the receipt of a grade or reimbursement by the student’s tuition assistance provider.
- Under all circumstances, the student is solely responsible for all tuition and fees due.
- Enrollment in future classes/sessions may be impacted until all outstanding balances are paid in full.
- Deferral Authorizations are valid for 1 year. It is the student’s sole responsibility to provide the deferral authorization on an annual basis.
If a student receives financial aid, the balance owed to Bellevue University will be taken out of the financial aid disbursement prior to any refund in excess of tuition/fees.

*Students associated with some initiatives are auto-approved to participate in the deferral program and do not need to complete the deferral form. Check with your Admissions Counselor or Student Coach to see if this applies to you.
