Fees

REGISTRATION FEES

All program fees are set according to the cost of the instructor, supplies and minimum class enrollment. All fees collected help support and finance programs.

ADDITIONAL FEES

Some programs may require additional fees or supply fees and may be offered at member and non-member rates. These fees are generally identified at enrollment and are to be paid directly to the instructor.

Policies

MEMBER PRICING

Participants must be registered members at both the time of program registration and on the day program(s) begin. When registering online, you must complete all membership purchases before member pricing is unlocked.

TRANSFER POLICY

Participants may transfer to another available class before it begins without charge but only if the enrollment for the class transferred from will not drop below the minimum.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

By registering for a class there is an assumption of risk by the participant. The Allen Parks & Recreation Department is dedicated to providing safe facilities and equipment for all participants, as well as qualified staff and instructors. In the event of a serious accident or illness, it is City policy to contact:

• The Allen Fire Department Emergency Services to perform First Aid and when necessary, recommend transport to a hospital.

• Each parent or legal guardian as soon as the situation allows.

SIBLING POLICY

Due to the structure of child/parent classes, only children who are of the appropriate age for the class will be permitted to register and attend the program. No younger or older siblings will be allowed in the classroom to sit and watch or be left unattended in the lobby.

In 2019, City of Allen joined the ranks of elite park and recreation agencies across the country by earning accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).

PARENT POLICY

Please refrain from entering the teaching area during class to eliminate interruptions between the instructor and participants. There may be special days to view your child’s progress.

PHOTO POLICY

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.
