How to Register For Programs
For Your Convenience, We Offer Three Ways To Register!
- Mail-In: Pre-registration is required for all of our programs and events (unless otherwise noted). All registrations are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration forms are required for every individual participating in our programming. Registration forms are available in this current brochure and can also be downloaded from our website. Payment must accompany a completed registration form. Please make checks payable to the Town of Northborough. Waivers on registration forms must be signed, otherwise participation in the program will not be allowed. Incomplete registration forms are subject to being returned to the sender. All fees are expected to be paid at the time of registration. We cannot be held responsible for lost or misdirected mail.
- Walk-In: Pre-registration is required for all of our programs and events (unless otherwise noted). All registrations are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration forms are required for every individual participating in our programming. Registration forms are available in this current brochure, or can also be downloaded from our website, and are available in our office. Payment must accompany a completed registration form. Please make checks payable to the Town of Northborough; we also accept cash. Waivers on registration forms must be signed, otherwise participation in the program will not be allowed. Incomplete registration forms are subject to being returned. All fees are expected to be paid at the time of registration. In the event the office is closed, you may also leave your registration form in the Town Offices drop off box, which is emptied Monday-Friday at approximately 7am.
- On-Line Registration: Pre-registration is required for all of our programs and events (unless otherwise noted). Credit card payment is required for on-line registration. You may need to create a household account on our website unless you/your family have participated in recent past programming. We accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard & Discover. All fees are expected to be paid at the time of registration.
If You Wait-You May Be Too Late: Nothing jeopardizes a recreation program faster than individuals who wait until the last minute to register. All programs require a high level of coordination, including facility scheduling, staffing, advertising, and purchasing of supplies. Register no later than one week before a program begins and save money! Those signing up ‘late’ (within a week of a program or event’s start date) will need to pay a higher rate indicated in order to help offset the additional administrative costs that arise due to late registrations.
Non-Resident Participation: Non-residents are welcome to join any program at no additional fee!
Refunds & Withdrawals: Refunds are only issued when a class is cancelled due to low enrollment orthe course requested is already full. No other refunds will be given. Classes are non-transferable. Withdrawals: Students withdrawing from a class at least 5 full business days before the start date of a class will receive a credit toward another recreation program. Credits are honored for 12 months from the date issued.
Age Requirement: For grade school programs, please sign your child up according to the grade he/she will be enrolled in for Fall 2009. For preschool programs, the child must be the specified age by the last day of the activity.
Email Blasts: Program delays or cancellations due to weather will be communicated through e-mail only due to our steadily increasing customer base. Please contact us if you need us to use an alternate source of communication. We will use the email address provided in your household account.
