GBCA TUITION REIMBURSEMENT POLICY General Building Contractors Association supports professional and career development, and educational growth for all its member companies and their employees. Eligible and approved participants can receive reimbursement for tuition of up to $2,000 per individual, per semester for approved courses. Maximum reimbursement for each student is $4,000 per calendar year. ELIGIBILITY GBCA Tuition Reimbursement Program is available to employees (field and office personnel) of Active and Associate member companies, and companies that contribute to the GBCAadministered Industry Advancement Program (IAP). IAP contributors must contribute a minimum of $2,000 per calendar year to be eligible. Calendar year is calculated as the immediate 12-month period preceding the date of application. Apprentices, regardless of trade, must be in at least their 3rd year of their apprentice program. Applicants who drop a class or are dropped from a class, will be ineligible to receive tuition reimbursement for a 12-month period. If you are accepted into a course and discover that you cannot attend, notify GBCA’s Education Department and the educational institution immediately. We strongly discourage enrolling unless an applicant is confident he or she will be able to complete the course. Tuition reimbursement is at the discretion of GBCA. APPLICATION PROCESS Before enrolling in an approved course, submit a completed Tuition Reimbursement Application. If approved, you will receive a confirmation letter from GBCA. Pending approval from GBCA you must then enroll/register for your course directly with the educational institution. DISCLAIMERS The GBCA Tuition Reimbursement Program includes only the basic cost of the course and is not responsible for textbooks, lab fees, late fees, or any other associated fees or costs. Students are required to pay for the course directly to the educational institution, and must receive a minimum grade of ‘B’ or better in order to receive reimbursement. By participating in GBCA’s Tuition Reimbursement Program you are agreeing to provide GBCA with an official transcript and proof of payment upon completion of the approved course, and you grant permission to the General Building Contractors Association to supply copies of your grade reports to your employer, or the organization responsible for managing and contributing to the Industry Advancement Program, should it be requested. We urge you to confirm the day and time of individual courses with each educational institution, as they are subject to change. No course substitutions will be permitted for any reason.
