a. Original credit card receipt OR

your maiden name, please attach a copy of your marriage license. Please make sure all other items are crossed out on the statement, we just need to see the applicable charge.

d. If you chose to pay with PayPal, please attach a copy of your PayPal statement with applicable information: your name, the charge from the institution along with the amount.
5. Statement from the institution of the exact cost of the course. A document that shows “paid” or a zero balance is not acceptable.
You must submit, and label, the above five (5) pieces of documentation no later than October 1, 2021. Please label and submit all paperwork together. Any incomplete claim packet WILL BE RETURNED, thus delaying your reimbursement check. Please keep a copy of all submitted paperwork for your records.
