Refunds & Transfer Credits

  • Unless otherwise noted in the online description, a course fee refund can be issued if you notify our office seven calendar days prior to the course start date.
  • Refunds are not offered on or after the start date, when the class runs on its scheduled rain date, or when the course is listed as non-refundable.
  • If an online option is listed for a course (in case it cannot take place in person), all refund, withdrawal, and cancellation policies still apply. If the online option was not stated in the description and the class is changed to an online venue, refunds are allowed.
  • Transfer credits, instead of refunds, are given when your withdrawal request is within two to six calendar days of the course start date. A transfer credit is good toward the cost of any of our course fees for up to one year from the issue date.
  • Transfer credits issued within three business days of the course start date will be less any materials fees owed to the instructor.
  • No transfer credits are given on or after the start date of class.
  • Credit card fees are non-refundable and not included in transfer credits.

Our Guarantee

We strive to offer educational programs of the highest quality. If, after the completion of a course, you feel that the quality was unsatisfactory, you may request a refund. Please email adultedinfo@rsu23.org or mail a letter to our administrative office stating the reasons for your dissatisfaction within 10 days of the course completion date for refund consideration.

Waiver of Liability

By registering for courses with OOB/Saco Adult Education, you understand and confirm that you join at your own risk. You agree to the release and waiver of liability and indemnity agreement and agree freely, voluntarily, under no duress or threat of duress, without inducement, promise, or guarantee being communicated to you.

Client Referrals

We receive many referrals from agencies with clients who want to learn English, finish high school, earn their HiSET, prepare for enrollment in college, or work on skills to help them in their daily lives. Our academics classes are free, and our professional skills classes are affordable. Both offer paths to employment, professional growth, or a career change.

Academic Client Referrals

Call the Saco Learning Center at (207) 282-3846. Academic classes are FREE and students are registered by appointment. We have open enrollment in many of our academic classes, so you can often begin well after the start date. All academic courses are open to persons age 17 and older.

Certificate & Vocational Client Referrals

Browse our online catalog to see our current class offerings. When you are ready to register, call our Main Office at (207) 934-7922. Register client(s) a minimum of one week before class starts. We will collect contact information for both students and organizations and invoice your organization for payment.

Weather Cancellations

Day schools announce weather cancellations in the AM on channels 6, 8, & 13.

If RSU 23 (Old Orchard Beach) school classes are canceled, then ALL (day & evening) Adult Education classes are also canceled unless they are online. We will add a weather banner on our homepage to notify students. We’ll contact you with class rescheduling information the following business day when possible.

If inclement weather moves in later in the day, we’ll determine evening class cancellations by 3pm and will add a weather banner on our homepage. Students will be called, texted and/or emailed of cancellations and reschedule dates. In general, we add a class at the end of multi-session courses to make up for missed sessions.

Changes and Cancellations

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule classes or change instructors when necessary. Courses with insufficient enrollment will generally be canceled one to five business days prior to the class start date. We notify all registered students, by phone, text, or email, of any changes whenever possible.
