Withdrawals/Refunds


Requests for withdrawals and refunds can be made by submitting
an Application for Transfer/Withdrawal Form.

Requests for withdrawals or refunds are not accepted by phone.

  • Refund requests must be submitted at least seven days prior to a
    program’s start date to qualify for a full refund. Requests made less
    than seven days prior to the start of a program will be evaluated
    individually, and the cost of any non-refundable materials may be
    deducted from the refund amount.
  • Medical refunds require a physician’s note and will be prorated from
    the date the request is submitted. Medical refund requests may be
    requested until the final class date of the session, but cannot be
    processed after the program concludes.
  • Refunds for trips, minus a service charge will only be issued if
    another participant is found to take the place of the individual
    requesting the refund. Due to the high demand for Park District
    programs and limited class sizes, refunds will not be issued for
    classes that participants are unable to attend.
  • Refunds will not be processed for special events, trips, one-day
    programs, passes, or memberships, except in cases where the
    event is canceled by the Palatine Park District. Programs with
    specific refund policies will have additional details noted in the
    program descriptions.
  • Refunds are issued as household credit unless specifically
    requested. All other refunds will be assessed a $5 processing fee.
    Cash and check payments will be issued refunds via check within
    10-21 days of request. Credit card payments will be refunded
    to the original card. Refunds under $10 will only be issued as
    household credit
