How to Expense Udacity

Get reimbursed for your subscription

Many companies will help your career growth through professional education reimbursement. Learn how to talk with your employer to expense a Udacity subscription.

Download Your Receipt

After you enroll in a Udacity subscription, you will receive a receipt as proof of payment. You will need to send this receipt to your employer for reimbursement.

  1. Go to the “Subscription” tab of your account settings by clicking on the icon in the top right-hand corner of your screen when you are logged in.
  2. Scroll to the “Billing History” section.
  3. (Recommended) To add your name to the receipt, click “Add Details” in the “Receipts will be issued to:” section. This will show your employer that you were the one who purchased a subscription.
  4. Click the receipt icon in the billing history table to download the receipt.

Email Your Employer

You will need to speak with your company to figure out the approval process for reimbursement. Some companies have an education benefit you can use that is managed by HR or other departments, while other companies will need specific approval by your manager.

Here is an example email template you can use to let your manager know you’d like your education costs with Udacity reimbursed.
