You will need to submit the original sabbatical bond, an invoice and a copy of the check or receipt showing your payment for the bond. Address the invoice to Riverside Community College District, attention, Associate Vice Chancellor of Finance. The invoice should show the full amount less one-half which is your responsibility and the net amount which is the District's responsibility. Include your name and address and the Associate Vice Chancellor of Finance's office will mail the reimbursement check to you.
