Overview
The Los Rios Community College District is committed to ensuring an inclusive recruitment and hiring process that provides all qualified candidates with a fair opportunity for employment. Los Rios offers a partial reimbursement of travel expenses to candidates who have been selected for an interview and reside outside the local area, state, or country. This reimbursement option is available to all applicants for Los Rios positions that explicitly mention travel reimbursement in the job posting.
Guidelines for Reimbursement
Mileage Determination
Reimbursement amount is made based on travel for one-way mileage from the physical address listed on the candidate's application to the interview location.
Mileage is determined using an online GPS map tool (for example, Google Maps).
| Interview Level | One-Way Mileage (Physical Address to Interview Location) | Maximum Reimbursement Amount |
|---|---|---|
| First interview | Between 400 and 599 miles | $250 |
| First interview | 600 miles or more | $350 |
| First and second interview (combined) | 399 miles or fewer | $250 |
| First and second interview (combined) | Between 400 and 599 miles | $350 |
| First and second interview (combined) | 600 miles or more | $450 |
Travel Documentation
To be reimbursed, the candidate must submit a copy of the GPS driving directions either at the time of their interview or within seven days of their interview to the hiring department.
Processing Time
Please allow six to eight weeks for a reimbursement check to be processed.
Multiple Interviews
Candidates who interview for more than one position within the district on the same day or consecutive days will receive a single reimbursement. In addition, candidates who submit multiple reimbursement requests at different colleges for travel expenses will receive only one reimbursement.

If you are a candidate with questions about reimbursement, please contact the college department where your interview has been or will be conducted.
