REFUND POLICY Full refunds will be issued for

classes that are cancelled due to insufficient registration.

Other refunds, less a 10% service charge (not to exceed $30), may be granted if the refund request is received five full business days prior to the start of the program.

No refunds will be allowed after this time unless a medical condition develops and a written explanation from a physician on his/her letterhead is presented. Due to advanced reservation requirements, no refunds for trips, outings, or special events will be given.

EMERGENCY CLOSINGS The Community House

intends to keep its facilities and programs operating whenever possible. There are times, however, when weather, road conditions, or facility malfunctions dictate that programs and/or services must be canceled or temporarily postponed or entire facilities closed. In order to provide employees and patrons with a safe and secure environment in which to work and play, the Community House reserves the right to close a particular facility or cancel a program when deemed necessary.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY If School District

36 cancels classes for the entire day, all of the Community House children’s programs (including Fitness Center childcare) starting before noon will be canceled. Decisions on all adult programs and children’s programs starting after noon will be made on a case-by-case basis. Please check mycommunityhouse.org for details on class cancellations.

RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS The Community House makes

every effort to avoid scheduling programs or events on religious holidays. Anyone affected will be offered the option of attending a session of the same program on a different date as a make-up, or receiving a prorated refund of the fee for the date missed.
