At University of Phoenix, we are invested in the success of all our students. Here is a story about how we have helped Comcast employees take advantage of tuition-saving opportunities and achieve their education goals.
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is designed to help you save money and graduate faster. Have your on-the-job training, workplace certifications and experiences evaluated for potential college credit at no cost.
University of Phoenix is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (http://hlcommission.org). Since 1978, University of Phoenix has been continually accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and its predecessor. University of Phoenix obtained its most recent 10-year Reaffirmation of Accreditation in 2012–13. The Higher Learning Commission conducted an interim Comprehensive Evaluation in 2018, and the next Comprehensive Evaluation for Reaffirmation of Accreditation is scheduled for 2022–23.
Once you’ve chosen your degree program, you can determine how much you’ll invest in your education and how you will pay for it. We can walk you step-by-step through the process.
Speak with an enrollment representative or your employer human resources department for more information about your employer education benefits. Identify your employer on your application and let your advisor know who you are employed with. Finally, identify your employer in My Phoenix financial plan before starting courses.
Check with your employer or benefits administrator to make sure your desired program is covered under your employer tuition assistance policy. Your benefits administrator should guide you through the tuition assistance process.
Yes. Our programs are designed specifically for working adults. With online classes, you can attend class online whenever it fits your life, day or night. You’ll get personal support by phone, chat or email, available up to 20 hours a day, 5 days a week. And you can start your degree year-round, not just once a semester.
Attending online class is easy because the classroom is always on 24/7/365. All you need is a reliable Internet connection. You simply log in to your virtual classroom to complete assignments, access course materials and resources, and interact with faculty and classmates. Class participation is graded based upon your contributions to online discussions. This is a great solution for students who might have a difficult time commuting and for those who learn better independently.
Applying is easy. Start your application and identify your company or organization when asked. Or, speak with an enrollment representative and let them know who your company or organization is. Finally, identify your company or organization in the University's Student Portal financial plan before starting courses.
There must be an agreement in place between the University of Phoenix, Inc. (University) and Bright Horizons EdAssist Solutions (“Company”) whereby Company is acting as Comcast’s tuition assistance service provider (hereinafter “Agreement”) for current employees to receive the tuition benefits set forth below (hereinafter referred to as the “Benefits”).
Eligibility
To be eligible for the Benefits, employees must (i) be and remain employed with Comcast; (ii) be eligible for and abide by all terms and conditions of Comcast’s tuition assistance policy as determined by Comcast; and (iii) must maintain attendance with the University defined as not taking a break longer than 365 days (hereinafter “Participating Employees”).
Participating Employees who are new students and self-identify as a Comcast employee in the University’s student portal (or through any other method of verification the University may require) after the Agreement effective date will receive the benefits set forth below, so long as the Agreement is in effect and has not been terminated. For those Participating Employees who are currently enrolled and already self-identified with the University, the Benefits will apply to your next course and will not be applied retroactively.
The Benefits will apply to Participating Employees who are receiving the standard University tuition rate and cannot be combined with any Alumni or Associate Transfer tuition rates, competency-based programs such as the MBA-CB program and other competency-based programs the University may offer in its discretion, any other University offer or promotion or any other specific program exclusions set forth in the Academic Catalog. For Clarification, nothing contained herein is intended to prohibit Participating Employees to enroll in these programs or use of any Client tuition assistance toward the excluded items listed above.
Participating Employees are subject to the University's admission and academic policies and procedures.
Undergraduate Courses
Participating Employees may take as many courses as they can subject to course availability and University’s policy for a total tuition cap of $5,750 per Calendar Year (defined as January 1st through December 31st).
Master’s Courses
Participating Employees may take up to six (6) courses within any one
Calendar Year, for a total tuition cap of $8,000 per Calendar Year. Any

Participating Employee at the then current tuition rate for the Master’s
degree program.
Doctoral Courses

University will waive resource fees on tuition assistance approved
credit-bearing single courses, certificates, associate, bachelor’s,
master’s, and doctoral courses until program completion.
Billing
Taking more courses than the maximum allotted amount for each tuition
cap in a Calendar Year will result in additional tuition charges. Please
check with Comcast’s tuition assistance policy for further information
regarding your billing options and payment details with respect to the
Benefits.
Please note: For students using VA benefits, certification of a course solely for monthly housing allowance will use a month of benefit entitlement.
Term and Termination
If the Agreement is terminated Benefits will immediately cease
and will no longer be available to Participating Employees.
Participating Employees enrolled in the University as of the termination
date will be responsible for payment of all fees and tuition costs (at
the then current tuition rate) for their next course and the remainder
of their program in accordance with University financial policies and
procedures.
