Accreditation

The Laboratory provides education assistance only for courses taken through institutions with appropriate accreditation. Accrediting organizations must be recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

  3. Upon successful completion of the education course, send Form 896, a grade report or certificate of completion (whichever is applicable), and the original receipts for tuition and books to tuitionassistance@lanl.gov.

Note: Employees must submit the completed Form 896 no later than three months after completion of the course. Requests submitted more than three months after course completion will not be processed.
