Program Refunds
Will be awarded if request is made no later than the second week of class for those classes offered on a semester
basis. For classes that have a yearly registration, refund requests must be made by the fourth week of the program.
Refund requests after this period of time must be addressed in writing to the MAR-JCC President/CEO explaining the
extenuating circumstances for the request. Allow four weeks for refund checks. There is a processing fee of $35 per
transaction. NO REFUNDS or CREDITS will be issued for programs requiring try-outs, e.g., sports travel teams &
Bamachol dance troupes. Credits, if issued, expire one year from date of issue.
Payment for Private Lessons/Personal Training
Per MAR-JCC policy and for insurance purposes, payment arrangements for all personal training and private lessons
at the MAR-JCC must be processed through a MAR-JCC registrar. MAR-JCC membership is required. Only approved
personnel and independent contractors employed by the MAR-JCC are eligible to provide personal training and
private instruction.
"Outside Professionals" Use of the MAR-JCC
No outside trainers, teachers, coaches, tutors, therapists, pros, etc., may use the MAR-JCC for professional purposes
even in the company of and with the permission of a MAR-JCC member, without written authorization from the MAR-
JCC President/CEO. "Outside Professionals" receiving said authorization must comply with all insurance requirements
and provide all required documentation.
Personal Belongings/Lockers
The MAR-JCC is not liable for the theft, loss, or damage to any personal belongings or property. It is recommended
not to store any valuables in parked vehicles. You may bring a lock to secure your belongings in a “daily locker” in
our locker room facilities, Scheck Family Gymnasium, or by the Program Building. The lock must be removed by the
end of each day or it will be removed by MAR-JCC staff. Permanent lockers are available annually in the men’s and
women’s locker rooms for $65. Visit the membership office, or call ext. 145/146.
Security
Security and safety are our highest priority. The MAR-JCC reserves the right to check trunks and vehicles for security
purposes. It also reserves the right to check backpacks, lunch boxes, and other types of sealed or closed containers
without prior notification. No weapons are permitted on campus. Among the permanent security systems at the MAR-
JCC are:
• Security gates and guards • Entry to various MAR-JCC Facilities only with membership card activation •
Surveillance cameras, recording systems and monitors at strategic places throughout the buildings and outdoor
areas • Signage that will alert all visitors that the premises are under surveillance • Emergency alarms that are
directly connected to law enforcement authorities • A photo I.D. is required to enter the MAR-JCC - access to the
MAR-JCC may be denied if appropriate I.D. is not presented.
The overall effect is a high level of security at the MAR-JCC that prompts quick action in the event of any danger signs.
Privacy
The MAR-JCC will not provide any account information, expenses, registration records, participation in activities, and
any other information to anyone other than its member of record, regardless of relationship/marital status.
Car Pool Dismissal
To expedite the exiting of cars at school/camp dismissal, as well as those who are seeking entry to the MAR-JCC, we
ask that you follow directions of MAR-JCC personnel and only make a right hand turn onto NE 25th Avenue.
Campus Speed Limit
For your safety, and the safety of others, we ask that you observe a campus speed limit of 5 mph.
Bullying
The MAR-JCC is a meeting place that promotes friendship, belonging, and camaraderie. MAR-JCC members,
guests, and staff are expected to treat one another with respect and dignity and no form of bullying will be
tolerated. Any act of bullying should be brought to the attention of MAR-JCC staff and may result in suspension
from the MAR-JCC.
Cell Phones
Cell phones may not be used in any MAR-JCC bathroom or locker room facility and when operating a vehicle on
Campus. Texting while driving is strictly prohibited.
