Recreation Division Refund and Credit Policy

The Victorville Recreation Division offers a variety of recreational programs and strives to provide enjoyable programs, events, and services to all participants. If you are not satisfied with a program and wish to withdraw or are unable to participate due to injury or illness, a written request form must be submitted to the Recreation Division.

Full refunds will be issued if the Recreation Division cancels the program; pro-rata credits will be issued in the event a portion of the program is canceled and cannot be rescheduled. All other refunds/credits will be assessed a $13 administrative fee. For withdrawals due to medical reasons that can be verified by a medical physician, a full refund will be issued if the participant has not participated in a program or class. If the participant does not attend and a request is submitted after the completion of classes or programs, the request may be denied. If the participant has participated, a pro-rata charge may be assessed with a $13 administrative fee. No refunds or credits shall be issued for non-attendance. Requests for refunds or credits will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and recommended for approval/denial at the discretion of the Recreation Supervisor overseeing the program. Below are the specifications for each program’s refund and credit guidelines.

Credits can be issued to your ActiveNet account. Patrons are given 90 days to use their credit or ask for a refund.

If the monthly class session has already started, a deduction for every class day attended/or has passed will be applied, in addition to the $13 administrative fee. When the monthly class session has completely passed, a request for a refund/credit will not be granted.
