An enrollment confirmation is mailed to you or, if you register by Internet, e-mailed to you, or you may print your own confirmation. If a class is full, you are placed on a wait list, and your fee is refunded upon request. If minimum enrollment is not met, Parks & Recreation reserves the right to cancel the class, and those enrolled receive a full refund.
Classes held in schools do not meet when Lake Oswego schools are closed due to legal holidays, weather, or other unforseen emergencies. Call Parks & Recreation regarding cancelations at other class locations. Some classes fill quickly, and some may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment. Minimum enrollment standards must be met five working days prior to the start of class. Early registration is encouraged.
For a refund, you must notify the Parks & Recreation office that you wish to cancel a class at least three working days prior to the first class. A $5 processing fee is charged for each refunded class. In lieu of a refund, you may request a credit, and the $5 fee is waived. All credits are nonrefundable once issued and must be used prior to the end of the fiscal year (June 30). A refund under $24 is granted only as a credit toward a future class (non-credit card only).
If you have a disability or need an accommodation, please include a note with your registration. If you register online, there is a field available on the participant screen where you can input this information.
