Guidelines and Procedures Satisfaction Guarantee

Please call the Community Education Office at 952.226.0310 if you are not satisfied with any class or activity in which you participated. We appreciate being notified as soon as a concern is noticed, so that we may have the opportunity to improve the program for all participants.

Class Confirmations

Community Education does not mail class confirmations. If you provide an email address at the time of registration, a confirmation will be emailed to you. We will contact you by phone or mail if there is a change. Please list a daytime phone number so we can reach you if a class is cancelled. If there is a last minute change, signs are posted at each site with your class information including class title, room numbers and times of classes.

Discounts

UCare members may be eligible for a $15 discount on most classes in this catalog. If a class is less than $15, the member may take the class for free. UCare for Seniors and EssentiaCare members may take one $15 discount per class per calendar year.

Members must be a UCare member at the time of the registration and throughout the duration of the class. Members need to include their UCare ID numbers when registering. Some restrictions may apply.

UCare Choices and Fairview Choices members are not eligible for the $15 class discount.

Special Requests

If special assistance/accommodations is needed to participate in a Community Education Program, please contact us at least 2 weeks prior to start of program to allow enough time for special accommodations. SPED services

may be provided based on student qualification.

Student Absences

To be eligible to participate in CE programs, classes or events, students are expected to be in school all day. Students who are ill or miss for other reasons not considered excused absences will not be allowed to participate in Community Education programs that day.

Participant Waiver

Registration for any class waives all rights and claims for any and all injuries from whatever cause suffered by participation in activities.

Cancellation

Community Education reserves the right to withdraw a course due to lack of enrollment or loss of a suitable facility.

If we have to cancel a class, every effort will be made to contact all the participants who preregistered. Please include on your registration form a phone number where you can be contacted during the day. Community Education assumes no responsibility for reaching registrants who do not provide an accessible daytime phone number. When ever possible messages will be left on voicemail/answering machines. If an email is provided at time of registration, notifications will also be sent to the address provided.

Classes may be cancelled due to inclement weather or for other unavoidable reasons.

These sessions are made up whenever possible. If school closes during the day due to bad weather, Community Education will cancel all activities. Call 952-2260310 for evening or weekend cancellation information.

Refunds

Class cancellations requested no later than 4:00 p.m., five business days prior to the first day of class may be eligible for a refund. All refunds are subject to a processing fee of $5.00 for courses up to $99 and $10 for courses $100+.

Refunds are not issued after 4:00 p.m. five business days before a class starts, due to commitments made to instructors. Call or visit the CE office to cancel a registration.

Community Education reserves the right to withdraw a course due to lack of enrollment or loss of a suitable facility.

Participants will receive a full refund for CE initiated cancellations. Full refunds are also issued for weather cancellations, if a course cannot be rescheduled or if the rescheduled date does not work for the participant.

Lost or Stolen Items

CE is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. Please do not bring valuables with you to class.

Privacy

The information requested on the registration forms will be used to verify eligibility as well as determine staff, facility and equipment needs. Your registration information may be provided to school district staff, volunteers, instructors, the school district attorney, insurer and auditor. Your email information is for internal use only and will not be sold or solicited. Photographs or videos of classes in action may be taken and used for district publications and web pages. If you object to having your picture used, please notify the Community Education Office at 952226-0310 each time you register.

Non-endorsement Policy

Prior Lake-Savage Community Education works with specialists in their fields who are interested in presenting classes in their areas of expertise to the community. We do not endorse the opinions or business affiliations of the instructors.

All financial seminars are carefully screened to ensure they are strictly informational in nature. Although most seminars are presented by professional financial planners, the design is nonbiased and non-sales oriented. You will not be pressured to make a purchase or meet with sales people. We prohibit the direct distribution of flyers, pamphlets or marketing materials that promote specific products, services or companies. We do, however, offer you the opportunity to receive an instructor’s business card or you can ask for more information should you have additional, specific questions that go beyond the content or time frame of the seminar. We hope your participation in these programs will be enjoyable. For questions, call Jenny at 952-226-0315.

Tuition Assistance

Tuition assistance and payment plans are available to residents of PLSAS. Assistance of 50% of class fee up to $100 is available for one program per PLSAS resident in each catalog season (Youth or Adult).

Some programs are not eligible. Call 952.226.0310 for assistance.

Exchange of Information

I give my consent to an exchange of my child’s information between CE staff and other PLSAS professional staff whenever it may deemed as beneficial to my child.
