Explore Policies



Who may enroll

Education and Enrichment courses are open to all adult members of Northern Strafford County and neighboring towns.
Classes are intended for adults, 18 or older, unless otherwise specified in the course description.
When permitted, youth must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also registered for the course.



Register Early

Please register early, as space is limited. Students are urged to register no later than one week prior to 
the start of a class. This allows instructors adequate time to prepare materials.



Fees & Payment

Payments may be made by cash, check or money order. All costs are noted at registration. A list of any additional 
materials needed (if any) will be available at registration or listed in the course description.



Returned Checks

A $28 fee will be charged for all checks returned due to insufficient funds. 
The party would also be expected to also pay the original amount due.



Refunds

Refunds will be issued only if a course is cancelled. Students will be notified by The Explore Collaborative if 
this is the case. Refunds will not be issued for students who register for a class, but then do not attend.
If you need to cancel your registration, a refund will be issued providing there is sufficient enrollment 
in the class and you notify us more than one week prior to the class start date.



Cancelled Classes

It may become necessary to cancel classes due to inadequate enrollment. You can help avoid this 
disappointmentby registering early and inviting friends and family to also attend the class. 
If a class is cancelled, registered students will be notified and a full refund issued.



Storm Day Policy

We follow the Public School System cancellation schedule. If school is cancelled for day students, 
you may assume that evening classes will also be cancelled. In the case of a late day storm, announcements 
will be made on the following stations: WOKQ, WTSN and Channel 9.



Non-discrimination Policy

The Adult Education/Explore program does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, 
educational ability or ethnic origin in its educational programs or activities.



Non-solicitation Policy

Explore classes are intended to be educational in nature. They are not intended to be venues for selling 
or promoting particular products or philosophies. Students who are interested in additional services 
may contact the instructor after class for product or service information.
