Eligibility

Courses are open to all persons in the Capital District. When possible, priority is given to residents of the Guilderland Central School District in courses where the demand is great and facilities limited. High school students may also register. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Course fees

Continuing education course fees vary as outlined in course descriptions. Payment for all courses must be submitted at the time of registration as either a check or money order. PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH. All senior citizens residing in the Guilderland Central School District and who have reached the age of 60 will be permitted to enroll in most continuing education courses at a 50% discount. Please see our "Senior citizens policy" listed below for more information.

There are no telephone registrations. To register for a continuing education class, mail a completed registration form** (PDF) and payment-in-full by the registration deadline to:

Make all checks and money orders payable to Guilderland Central School District. 

All mail registrations must be postmarked by May 9, 2008.

**Please note: The PDF registration form (available above) is an interactive PDF...which means that you can click in each required field to type your personal information.

Confirmation of classes

You will NOT receive confirmation of registration, and will only be notified if the selected course is canceled due to insufficient enrollment. In that case, you will receive notification by telephone and will receive a complete refund by mail.

Class times and locations

Most continuing education classes meet once a week, between 6 - 10 p.m., and last up to ten weeks. Classes are held at Guilderland High School. Exceptions, if any, will be noted in individual class descriptions.

Refund policy (Updated: August 2007)

In special cases, refunds may be granted after the first class meeting for a service charge of $10. No refunds will be permitted after the second class meeting. Should you decide to discontinue a class and want to request a refund, you must do so in writing to the attention of Norma Henness, c/o Guilderland Central School District, 6076 State Farm Road, Guilderland, NY 12084. A claim form will be mailed to you with your request letter for your signature. Once returned to us a refund will be issued. Thank you for your cooperation.

Canceled Classes

Whenever Guilderland district schools are closed for the day due to inclement weather, or for other emergency reasons, classes will not meet that night. Should inclement weather occur during the day, announcements concerning the closing of the evening adult/continuing education program will be broadcast over the following stations:

• WGY - 810AM

• WROW - 590 AM

• WTRY - 98.3 FM

In addition, this information may also be found on the district Web site and on Public Access Channel 16.

Senior citizens policy

Again, all senior citizens who reside in the Guilderland Central School District and have reached the age of 60 will be permitted to enroll in most continuing education courses at a 50% discount. Senior citizens must check the senior citizens' "YES" box on the mail-in registration form and present their senior citizen card the first evening of class. Information regarding senior citizen cards may be obtained at the Guilderland Town Hall. Senior citizens may not displace any other residents of the district who may have enrolled in a course. Senior citizens will be required to pay the full registration fee if that fee is needed to maintain self-sufficiency. Courses followed by an asterisk in the course catalog cannot be offered as discounted courses.
