The information supply available to us doubles every 5 years.

It doesn’t take long for skills and knowledge to become outdated. To preserve your career it’s important to keep up with what’s going on. ADOT has supported employees with tuition reimbursement since 1974. Update your credentials, acquire new skills, and stay on top of your field.

If you are planning to register for accredited college courses, you may apply for assistance.  Tuition reimbursement is based on state university course fees. Currently, the cost per credit hour is $207.00. A three hour credit course is reimbursed at $621.00 and $100.00 for books (per semester). Internet, correspondence courses, and distance learning offered by institutions accredited by the National Study Council of Regional Accreditation Commissions recognized by the U.S. Commissioner of Education are permissible.

Reimbursement is available for courses completed after the employee's sixth month of state service.

The tuition reimbursement program is coordinated by Organization and Employee Development (OED). Funding is part of the OED budget. Because funding is limited, all requests will be honored on a first-come-first serve basis. As soon as you know the classes you are interested in taking, apply to the program.
