IncIusive Programs
Through CUSR
CUSR and its member park districts believe that
all individuals should be provided with leisure
opportunities that allow for performance at their
highest level of ability. We understand that not

participating in local park district programs.
CUSR will provide the type of support deemed
necessary for successful participation. Support

members, consultation with the individual
and the individual's family members, and the
assistance of a support staff member. CUSR
provides all inclusion services at no cost to the
individual. For more information, please contact
CUSR.

with high quality recreation programs, activities,
and events. To encourage rst-time participation,
as well as repeat participation, CUSR has
a refund policy highlighted by a satisfaction
guarantee. This special refund policy provides
us with timely feedback about dissatisfaction
regarding our services. If you are not completely
satised, tell us, and we will either invite you
to repeat the class at no charge, allow you a
credit that can be applied to another program,
or issue you a refund. A refund will be granted
if you were dissatised with the experience due
to circumstances under CUSRs control. If you
are not satised, we kindly ask you to give us
your input or ideas for improvement. Requests
for the above mentioned options must be made
before the midpoint of the program or within two
weeks of a single meeting activity. All refund
requests must be submitted on the Satisfaction
Refund Request form and turned into CUSR. A $5
service charge will be deducted from all refunds.
Satisfaction Guarantee does not apply to trips
and special events with prepaid admissions and
tickets.
Program Scholarships
Because some residents are unable to participate
in recreation programs due to economic hardship,
CUSR provides a scholarship policy to reduce certain
fees and charges. Scholarship applications are
not guaranteed and are based on available funds,
program registration, or choice of program location.
Early applications are given priority. Please apply 3-4
weeks before the program start date. Applications
are available at the CUSR ofce and can be mailed
upon request. Need is the primary criteria upon which
scholarship applicants are considered. Scholarships
are not available for transportation and specically
identied programs. For more information, call 217-
239-1152. Payment plans available to all. ALL
monies owed must be paid prior to next season
registration accepted.
Program Cancellation Policy
All registration cancellations must be made at least
one week prior to the start of the program in order to
receive a full refund. For programs with cancellation
dates listed, registration must be cancelled no later
than the specied date to receive a full refund. Any
program cancellations after the one week deadline
will receive NO refund. A $5 service charge will be
deducted from all refunds.
Inclement Weather Policy
If inclement weather occurs, CUSR may still decide to
hold programs. If the weather turns dangerous, CUSR
will call participants prior to the start of the program
to cancel the program. If you are unsure whether
a program will meet due to inclement weather, call
CUSR. Missed programs due to weather may be
made up the week after the end of the program
season. Credit is given for additional cancellations.

If staff needs to communicate any unforeseen
change(s) of plans, transportation schedule
adjustments, etc., and neither parent/guarding

only source to call. Please help us reduce any
anxiety created with these calls by letting your
designated emergency contact know that they
may be called for other situations. Your assistance
with this is appreciated.

registering and inform staff if the condition is
present.
