Tuition Reimbursement

So my employer provides tuition reimbursement, but they do not pay the employee back until the company's HR dept receives a copy of the employee's transcript. For this Spring semester I had $2,293.00 due. Yes, I know it looks like a bargain for grad school, which is partially due to the fact that I am going to a state university as well as only taking 2 classes a semester. I made the payment and paid it off. I was thinking maybe I should use a 0% credit card BT offer, but I didn't go that route. In the end I can not wait to get reimbursed.
