IIT also has options for employer reimbursement and tuition remission for eligible IIT employees.
The Chicago Police Department Tuition Reimbursement Plan allows sworn officers who are employed by the Chicago Police Department the opportunity to defer the reimbursable portion of tuition until three weeks after grades are posted each semester.
Tuition is due in full immediately upon receipt of reimbursement from the CPD. Fees (such as UPass, activity, and student service fees), which are not covered by the CPD Tuition Reimbursement Program, will be due in full by the end of the published due date each semester.
To apply for the plan, sworn officers must complete the following steps prior to the published add/drop date each semester:
- Submit a letter from the CPD stating eligibility for tuition reimbursement. The letter can be mailed, faxed, or emailed to the Student Accounting Office. Letter requirements are as follows:
- Letter must be dated on letterhead.
- Letter must state the full terms of the tuition reimbursement including the percentage covered, maximums per year, and coverage (e.g., tuition only or tuition and fees).
- Payout of pocket balance.
The Chicago Police Department deferment is only for tuition. Fees, such as UPass, activity, student service, or health insurance, are not covered by the CPD Tuition Reimbursement Program.
All out-of-pocket payments are due in full by the end of the add/drop period each semester. Unpaid balances will be subject to late fees each month. The Employer Tuition Deferment Plan is a benefit to students, and IIT reserves the right to discontinue this plan at any time.
Financial Aid
Financial aid awards including loans and scholarships will be applied directly to your student account and will reduce the total amount of tuition and fees owed in a given semester. This will reduce the total amount of tuition and fees enrolled in the Tuition Reimbursement Plan. You will receive a refund from any portion of your federal loans that exceed your total tuition and fee balance only.
Obtaining E-Bill to Submit to CPD for Reimbursement
Officers enrolled in the IIT Chicago Police Department Reimbursement Plan will receive a final bill that is suitable for submission to the CPD Human Resources Division. E-bills can be accessed through your Illinois Tech Portal, under the “Manage My Account” tool. Click the eBills tab to locate and print your bill.

By applying for the Chicago Police Department Tuition Reimbursement Plan I recognize that my employer's tuition reimbursement program has qualifying conditions that must be met in order to be reimbursed.
