Admission: Enrichment classes are open to anyone 18 years of age or older. Non-residents are welcome.


Senior Citizen / Disabled Discount:

Senior Citizens are those 62 years of age or older. (Sr./Disab.) means discounted fee for senior citizens age 62 and older and people with disabilities who live in Ridgefield, provided that the course they want has sufficient enrollment to sustain the discount. To receive the discount, Ridgefield Seniors must register and pay at least before the first day of class (even if you have been taking the class in the past) in order to receive the discount. Non-residents do not receive any discounts. For more information please see Seniors / Disabled Only.


Registration Deadline and Payment: You may register by mail or phone. Payment in full must accompany your registration, which must be paid in advance. We decide whether or not to run a class at least 3 days before the first class (some teachers need a decision sooner) based on the number of people who have paid their tuition. Don’t let a class be cancelled due to participant procrastination. Checks (our customary method, preferred to keep costs down) and money orders are preferred. As an alternative method of payment, Visa and MasterCard are accepted and a convenience/service fee for Visa or MasterCard payment will be added to your charge total as follows: $2.95 (subtotal thru $97), 2.99% (subtotal of $98 or higher); per person, per order. There is a $20 service fee for returned checks. These rates are effective March 6, 2023.

WAIVER OF TOWN LIABILITY: I recognize because of the nature of this activity, whether on Town of Ridgefield property or online via platforms such as Zoom on property of my own choice that an injury or illness might occur and/or the probability of contracting COVID-19 might increase. In the event of an injury or illness to myself or my family member, I give permission to the attending physician to render such treatment and agree to pay for the treatment. Ridgefield Continuing Education follows the Ridgefield Public Schools guidelines for COVID precautions, which may change as public health conditions change, which may include wearing a mask. Even so, we cannot guarantee that you will be 100% safe from airborne illnesses including COVID-19. I release Ridgefield Adult and Continuing Education, Ridgefield Public Schools, the Town of Ridgefield, its employees and instructors. I understand that this release applies to any present or future injuries or illness (including, but not limited to, COVID-19). Participation is at my own risk. I have read this and sign it voluntarily.

Please register as early as you can. Zoom links are provided to people who have registered (and paid).


Confirmation and Cancellation: No news is good news. If you have paid your tuition, assume you are enrolled and plan to attend the class. When you register, we assume that you have put the course date, time, and location on your calendar and have reconciled potential conflicts before you register. Please include an accurate and legible phone number and/or email address so that we can contact you if a course is canceled, full, or relocated. An email address is necessary to enable us to send you your Zooom link the night before class.


Refunds: You will obtain a full tuition refund when Ridgefield Continuing Education cancels a class or the class is full. If you are requesting a tuition refund, we must receive your request in writing (letter or email) five days before a class starts and we will withhold a $15 withdrawal fee per class from the amount refunded. Students assume all risk of changes in their personal schedules. Absence from the class does not reduce the cost of operating our programs. Class sessions may be rescheduled due to unexpected circumstances; refunds will not be issued to students unable to attend a rescheduled makeup class (including makeup classes online). Refunds will not be issued to students who do not want to comply with public health requirements, when needed. Medical refunds only (less a $15 withdrawal fee) will be pro-rated for the remainder of the session when verified by a physician’s note. The tuition refund is calculated on the date a written cancellation notice is provided, not on the date of the last class attended or missed. Refunds are not available to people who register less than 5 days before a class starts. Refunds take 4 to 6 weeks to process.
