Occasionally a program will be forced to cancel. If this occurs, there might be refunds available depending on certain conditions.

Full Refunds

You will receive a full refund or credit on your account if:

  • You withdraw from a program seven (7) or more days prior to the start date; or

You will receive a partial refund or credit on your account if you withdraw from a program less than seven (7) days prior to the start date (and before the second session of a program) and the City receives a request for refund.
