Class Cancellations
Occasionally, we must cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment, weather, etc. If a class is cancelled the day it is scheduled to start, you will be notified by telephone. Since telephone contacts will be made during the day, please supply your daytime phone number or one where a message can be left for you. When a class is cancelled you will have the option of receiving a full refund or an Open University credit toward another class in the future.

Class Withdrawals
If you cannot attend a class, please let us know by phone or email at least 3 business days prior to the first class meeting to receive a full refund or credit. Late withdrawals can lead to last minute cancellations of classes or keep students on the waiting list from being able to join, so we appreciate your cooperation when at all possible. A student who withdraws fewer than 3 days prior to the first class meeting will receive a refund of the registration fees less $10 or a credit on their account. 

Inclement Weather
The YMCA will make a decision on the status of a class by 3pm if the weather is questionable. If a class needs to be cancelled, Open University staff will do their best to contact all enrolled students. When in doubt, students are encouraged to call the YMCA at 540-961-9622 or check www.vtymca.org for an update.

Required Supplies
Some classes require you to bring supplies and others will provide supplies. Please make sure you understand what is required.

Who May Enroll
Most classes are designed for adults unless otherwise noted. For younger students interested in taking a class, please call the YMCA at 540-961-9622 or send us an email and we'll check with the instructor. Parents may be required to attend class with their child.
