The Program Guide is available online at www.apexnc.org/programguide and for pick up at the following locations:

HOW TO REGISTER FOR PROGRAMS:
Pre-registration is required for most programs offered by Apex Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources. The first two weeks of each
registration period is limited to Apex residents only. A resident is defined as an individual who resides within the established corporate
limits of the Town as defined by the Apex Planning & Community Development Department. Waiting lists are available for most
programs, with Apex residents receiving priority. See individual pages of the Program Guide for program registration dates. You may
register online at PEAKconnect, in person, or by mail (make checks payable to: Town of Apex). For Athletic Program registration dates
see individual program descriptions. To avoid long lines and discourage overnight assembly, the first day of registration for both residents
and non-residents will be administered by a lottery system promptly at 8:45am at the Community Center. Those in line will be given
the opportunity to randomly draw a number and line up according to their number. Anyone arriving after 8:45am will go to the back of
the line. Registration will begin promptly at 9am based on this system. This is for instructional programs, camps and individual youth
athletic registration only and does not apply to adult team registration deadlines. One person may register only one family at a time.
REFUND POLICY:
Full Refunds. Registration fees are 100% refundable when programs and events are canceled or adjusted by the Apex Parks,
Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department. The Director of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources shall have the authority
to make decisions on all requests not specifically covered herein.

request at least 10 calendar days in advance of the scheduled start date of the program or tryouts for an athletic league. The
participant will receive the full refund of fees minus a $5.00 processing fee. No refunds will be issued when the amount is less than
$6.00.
2. Withdrawal less than 10 Calendar days in advance. A participant requesting a refund in writing, less than 10 calendar days
prior to the scheduled start date of the program or tryouts for an athletic league, will receive a 75% refund of the fees if the participant
can be replaced from the waiting list. If there is not a waiting list for the program or athletic league then no refund will be issued.
3. Withdrawal after First meeting of a program/First regular season game. A participant requesting to withdraw, on the day of or
after the first meeting of any program, or the first regular season game of the affected league, will not be issued a refund.
4. Transfer Request. A participant requesting to transfer from one class date to another, within the same program and
registration period, must do so in writing at least 10 calendar days or more prior to the scheduled start date of the
program
5. Adult Team Withdrawals. Refunds for adult athletic programs requiring “team” registration will be issued based on
policies and procedures covering that particular program and are not subject to #s 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.
Medical and Scholastic Exceptions
A full refund of all fees paid, minus a $5.00 processing fee, will be made for Athletic and Non-Athletic Programs only if:

Prior to the first meeting of a program or the first game of the regular season the participant requests a refund in
writing including a written excuse from a licensed medical doctor indicating that the participant should not

which prohibits the registrant’s participation.

1. If a participant requests a refund in writing prior to the registration deadline, a full refund minus a $5.00 processing
fee will be issued. 2. If a participant requests a refund in writing after the registration deadline, and 48 hours prior to trip
departure, a 75% refund will be issued if the participant can be replaced from the waiting list. If there is not a waiting list for
the program then no refund will be issued. 3. If 48 hours prior to the trip departure, a written excuse from a licensed
medical doctor is provided indicating that the participant should not participate due to medical concerns or physical
limitations, a partial refund will be issued after deducting expenses incurred by the Town of Apex / Apex Parks, Recreation, and
