P.E.T. Program

Taking graduate courses at East Stroudsburg University just got easier for school district employees!

The districts listed below have partnered with ESU by joining our PreK-12 Educator Tuition (P.E.T.) Program.

This means no out-of-pocket tuition expenses for YOU!**

Once approved, your district will be billed for the cost of tuition, you only pay related fees by the outlined due date.

Here’s how it works:

1. Download the Tuition Approval Form.
2. Print and complete form with your district business office and/or superintendent
3. Submit your completed P.E.T. Approval form to the Graduate College office:

   • Fax: (570) 422-3711
   • E-mail: grads@esu.edu
4. Register for courses through the Graduate College
5. Information regarding your updated bill will be e-mailed once your registration and P.E.T. approval form have been processed.
6. ESU will notify the district regarding your registration and final grade. You will receive a bill for the tuition if you do not earn the required minimum grade outlined in your district contract.
