The Enrollment Fee Reimbursement program provides SRJC employees with an opportunity to improve skills and increase knowledge by enrolling in SRJC courses which are directly job related.
For the 2022-2023 academic year, employees will be reimbursed the $46 per unit registration fee* for any course units completed at Santa Rosa Junior College that are related to job duties, skill building for job advancement, Health and Wellness or Spanish language acquisition. (Classified, Management, and full-time Faculty are eligible to have their health fee waived). Please contact the Accounting Department for more information. Examples of eligible courses could include classes on software training needed for work, such as Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop, and many more. Classes in accounting, leadership, and supervision might also be appropriate. Spanish courses may also be considered relevant, to better serve the needs of our growing Latino/a student population. And, in recognition and support of our strategic plan goal to Cultivate a Healthy Organization, classes aimed at improved health and wellness may be covered as well.
You can see the classes offered on the schedule of classes. In order to enroll at the college, please see the admissions page and click on your appropriate enrollment status.
