   Upon registration, the full tuition for your course(s) will be applied to your student account. Your account will be credited for the 50 percent tuition reduction pending completion of the steps below.

2. Email Boston University Metropolitan College Community Programs Manager Katherine Meyer Moran In order to receive the 50 percent BMC Employee Scholarship, you must email Katherine Meyer Moran at kcmeyer@bu.edu each semester that you take classes so that she can verify your employee status once you have registered. Boston University Metropolitan College will bill you for 50 percent of the full price of the course, a small registration fee, and any applicable laboratory fees. To remain eligible for the scholarship, you must pay your bill on time.
3. Monitor Your Student Account Online* Please monitor your student account online, through the Student Link, with your Boston University email address and Kerberos password (directions on setting up a BU email account can be found here). Alternately, you may call Student Accounts at 617-353-2264 to check your balance. The credit to your account should be applied well in advance of the payment deadline. *It is necessary to make payment to the balance of your student account by the payment deadline (found on the Student Accounting Services website), so as not to incur any late fees. If your balance still reflects 100 percent of the tuition, arrangements must be made with Student Accounts to pay at least 50 percent of the balance by the payment deadline.
4. Request Reimbursement from BMC If you have been approved by BMC Organizational Development and Training or the 1199SEIU Training and Upgrading Fund (TUF) for Tuition Reimbursement, be sure that you submit your grade and proof of payment in accordance with OD&T or TUF requirements.
