Withdraw/Refund Policy:

There will be a 10% withdrawal refund fee assessed for all withdrawal refund requests.  A 50% withdrawal refund fee will be assessed for withdrawal refunds requested within 14 days of the program start date.  There will not be any refunds issued after the start of any program except for relocation out of the City of Regina and surrounding areas within 50 kilometers or for medical reasons.  If it is a medical or relocation withdrawal, a prorated refund less the $15.00 withdrawal refund fee will be assessed.   If your child or ward is asked to leave the program by the University of Regina, a prorated refund will be provided. 

Refunds will be issued within 14 days of withdrawal, notwithstanding any issues with the method of payment outside of the University of Regina’s control.  For example, credit card on file is expired or the client is required to come in person for the refund if payment was made with a debit card or cash. To withdraw from a program, please contact the Recreation & Athletic Services office in person or by calling (306)585-4371. 

Program Cancellations and Closures: 

Please note that programs may be cancelled for any reason by the University of Regina either for a specific class date or in its entirety.  If a program is cancelled in its entirety, a pro-rated refund will be provided.  If a specific class date within the program is cancelled, a make-up class may be provided. Please note that this may not always be possible.

The University of Regina is closed on all statutory holidays as well as any University of Regina closures for maintenance or other reasons.  This includes the period from December 25 to January 1 inclusive.

Transfer Policy:

Transfers are allowed within the same program area up to one day prior to the start date of the program, space permitting. An example of this is if the original registration is in Summer Sports School, the registrant may transfer into another Summer Sports School program but not into a Cougar Camp.  Registrants may transfer with no charge up to 3 days after they registered in the program.  A $10.00 fee will be assessed for all transfers after the three day grace period.  No transfers are allowed after the start date of the program.

Strike 3: Parent is called and the child removed from EYES. No refund is issued.

Examples of common unwelcome behaviors are (but are not limited too): name calling, pushing, not listening to instructions, compromising the safety of other children (such as leaning back on chairs or throwing supplies), swearing, or stealing. At the beginning of all EYES sessions, staff review rules and expectations with all children involved in the program. Please review the rules before programming with your child! Rules are posted in all activity rooms.
