By their use of the City of Allen facilities, participants in programs and special events grant permission to the City of Allen to take photos and videos of themselves and their children for publication in the program brochure, website and additional uses as the City deems necessary, unless the registrant or participant expressly files a written request as to the use of photos and videos of themselves and/or their children.

Wait Lists

Is your class full? If so, we can place you on a waiting list. We will notify you if a space becomes available or a new class is formed. Payment is not required until you are registered for an open class position.

Refunds

When a class is canceled due to low enrollment or other circumstances, you will be offered a transfer to another class or receive a full refund. Participant-initiated refunds and transfers will only be granted when a participant:

• submits a transfer or refund request at least five (5) business days prior to the class start date,

• moves from the area and notifies the staff at least five (5) business days prior to the class start date, or

• participant becomes ill. If a refund/transfer is not requested to be applied to the activity or program within five (5) days of the start of the program, a refund will be initiated.
