Refund Policy

---

Whenever possible, refunds will be provided to members.

If a refund for a class fee is requested after expenses for that class* already have been incurred by the ILR and/or by an instructor/facilitator, then no refund can be made unless a substitute is found. Refund for the ILR membership will be made upon request before the first day of classes of the current semester.

*Class fee can be required for admission fees, supplies required to perform an activity, food, transportation, etc. and it is published in the ILR class catalog.

The purpose of the Institute for Learning in Retirement is educational, not commercial. Members provide contact data to the ILR so that they might receive membership and class information, announcements, etc. Thus, the ILR has a responsibility to protect members’ privacy by strictly controlling the use of this contact data.

ILR members and instructors/facilitators may not use class meetings, rosters or membership lists to actively solicit clients/customers for a company or individual business. The instructors may share their contact information with the ILR members during the class. Class participants are free, of course, to inquire further on their own about products or services or to give their explicit consent to be placed on a business’ mailing or call list.

The ILR directors and staff cooperate with Partner-Organizations in publicizing their services and events that are (a) consistent with ILR aims and objectives, and (b) of compelling interest to ILR members.

The Institute for Learning in Retirement admits members of any race, color, gender, religion, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to ILR participants. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national, and ethnic origin in administration of its educational programs or policies. The ILR does not tolerate language and actions that could be offensive to others, especially those related to race, color, gender, religion, nationality, and/or ethnic origin in the administration or educational programs.

 We take pictures and record videos during classes and trips for ILR advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out. Let the class leader know if you want out of the picture.

We use email for important and sometimes urgent communication. Provide an accurate and active email addresses to receive our notifications.

Classes and trips can be canceled for various reasons: low enrollment, inclement weather, or instructor reasons. Check your email before coming to a class/trip.
