A. For undergraduate college courses and other courses
approved, in writing, in advance of taking the course by both the
Department Head and the Council Liaison, the Borough will pay 1/2
of the tuition costs upon satisfactory completion of the course. "Satisfactory

for any department will be limited to the amount budgeted in the line
item for such purposes, and no additional moneys will be transferred
to that line item in that fiscal year without the consent of the Mayor
and Council.
B. Courses required by the state or other governing body
for the performance of a job will be paid in full after advance approval
by the Department Head and the Council Liaison.
C. Postgraduate courses and correspondence courses will
not be eligible for reimbursement except for library courses, which
are by nature graduate courses.
