Teacher Tuition Exemption Deadlines and Credit 

• Once the window is closed for TTE, approved applicants are placed on spreadsheets and sent to their respective university and principal. In turn, your principal will email the spreadsheet to you. This is your verification that you have been approved. 
• Please allow 15 business days after the window closes to receive the spreadsheet as this gives us time to process and approve applications, build spreadsheets and send them out. 
• Also, please be sure you are using the TTE application that is on this website.
