    Payment

    Participants are enrolled in the class upon receipt of registration and payment. Registrations are not complete without payment. A registration confirmation will be emailed to you if an email address is provided. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
     
    Fee assistance
    Limited fee assistance is available for students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals.  Eligible families will receive a 50 percent discount and may pay the amount listed in catalogs or in parenthesis ($XX).

    Cancellations and refunds  Customer-initiated cancelations made at least five business days before the class is scheduled to start may qualify for a refund less $10. Customer-initiated cancellations made less than five business days before the class is scheduled to start are not eligible for a refund. Activities with low enrollment may be canceled, in which participants will be notified and payment refunded.
     

    Waiting lists

    If a class is full at the time of your registration, you may request to be placed on a waiting list. You will not be charged unless class space becomes available, in which case you will be notified by phone or email.

    All activities and classes that are canceled due to school closures or inclement weather will not be rescheduled. Credits are not issued for cancellations due to school closings and inclement weather conditions.
    • School-year: Community Education activities and classes will be canceled if Anoka-Hennepin Schools are closed due to inclement weather.
    • Summer: The decision to cancel activities and classes will be made by the class instructors at the class location just prior to class time.
