To encourage the employees of the City of Santa Ana to take college courses and <br /> special training courses which will better enable them to perform their present <br /> duties and prepare them for increased responsibilities. <br /> <br /> B.

To establish eligibility requirements, conditions and procedures whereby such <br /> assistance may be provided. <br /> <br /> 7.2 Eligibility. <br /> <br /> A. Applications for tuition reimbursement will be considered only from full-time, <br /> permanent City employees who have completed probation. <br /> <br /> B. Reimbursement is not authorized for courses for which the employee is receiving <br /> financial assistance from other sources such as G.I. Bill, scholarships, etc. <br /> <br /> C. Applications will be approved only for courses directly related to the employee's <br /> job or directly related to a promotional position in the employee's occupational <br /> specialty. <br /> <br /> D. Courses not ostensibly related to the employee's job, but which are required to <br /> qualify for a degree that is directly related to his or her job, may be reimbursable <br /> only after all required occupationally related courses have been completed. <br /> <br /> E. Prior to receiving tuition reimbursement, employees must submit documentary <br /> proof of having received a grade of not less than "C" for the course. If objective <br /> ratings are not rendered for a specific course, then a certificate of successful <br /> completion must be submitted. <br /> <br /> F. Approval will be limited to courses given by accredited colleges and universities, <br /> city colleges or adult education courses under the sponsorship of a Board of <br /> Education. Workshops, seminars, conferences and similar activities not <br /> identifiable as a formal course of instruction within the curriculum of a <br /> recognized educational institution, do not fall within the purview of this program <br /> but may be authorized and funded by the interested department without <br /> coordination with the Personnel Services Department. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 34 <br /> 25F-36 <br />
