Children of community families enroll for an entire program year (specific calendar issued yearly). OU affiliates, children of Oakland University students, faculty, and staff may opt to enroll for the entire program year or register each semester according to their schedule and based on space availability.
Recruitment and enrollment take place whenever there is an opening in the program. The waiting lists are consulted before enrolling new students.
Pre-payment of the registration fee and deposit are required in order to hold a space.
Registration
The Lowry Center begins registration for Fall Program the first week of March of the previous program year. As slots open up for various reasons, enrollment will continue based on the waiting list order and staff availability.
Families presently enrolled in a Lowry Program are first preference for available slots. To guarantee a space, registration must be received by May 1 of the previous program year.
Fees
For community members (non- OU affiliates) the registration fee is $200 per year; $150 of that fee will be applied to the last month’s bill of the program year. It will not be applied if the child disenrolls prior to the end of the school year.
For OU affiliates a registration fee of $75 is charged each semester; $25 of that fee will be applied to the last month’s bill of that semester. It will not be applied if early withdrawal occurs.
Extended care fees are billed in 1/2 hour increments only, at $5.00 per 1/2 hour for Community Members and $3.00 per half an hour for OU Staff, Students and Faculty Members.
