Registration FAQ
-
Do I need to be a Shakopee resident to register for a Community Education class?
Anyone may register for a class, event, or program offered through Shakopee Community Education. (However, Driver's Education students who live within the Shakopee school district boundaries will receive priority status when registering for this class.)
-
What type of payment can be accepted?
Credit card (Visa, Mastercard and Discover) payment can be accepted in-person, via mail (on registration form) over the phone and online.
A personal check can also be an acceptable form of payment in-person or via mail; please make checks payable to Shakopee Community Education.
Cash can also be accepted in-person.
-
What is the refund policy?
Full refunds are given when Community Education cancels a class. There will be a $5 processing fee for all customer-requested refunds. If you cancel less than one week prior to a class/activity start date, no refund will be given. Some classes have a more specific refund policy. We reserve the right to cancel classes with less than minimum enrollment or for weather-related reasons.
-
Are reduced fees available for classes?
Fees for Community Education Adult and Youth Enrichment classes may be reduced if you are a District 720 resident. For families experiencing financial hardship, each immediate family member may receive up to a 50% fee reduction on one Community Education class per catalog, unless otherwise noted. Fees will not be reduced for ECFE, Stepping Stones Preschool, Youth Driver’s Education or the Adult Driver Discount Program. Other exclusions may apply.
-
Is there a late fee if children are not picked up on time from Youth Enrichment programs?
Participants must be picked up by a responsible adult as soon as the scheduled class/activity is over. A $5 fee will be charged and invoiced after 15 minutes and $2.50 for each additional five minutes that the child remains in class. The late pick-up fee will be enforced no matter who is scheduled to pick-up your child.
-
Are Minnesota tax credits available?
Minnesota offers education tax subtraction and credit for families whose children participate in after-school enrichment programs. Some Community Education classes qualify for this program. Only the cost of the instruction qualifies for subtraction or credit. In order to apply for a credit or deduction, families must have evidence they have paid the amount indicated. If you have questions, please call the Minnesota Individual Income Tax Division at 1.800.652.9094.
