Discharge

The Children's Center reserves the right to cancel the enrollment of a child for the following reasons: 

• Neither parent being a UW Oshkosh student or faculty/staff member
• Non-payment of fees
• Not completing and returning required forms
• Irresponsibility in adhering to your scheduled times
• Mutual agreement between Center Director and parent based on inability to meet child's needs - physical, developmental (including behavioral)

Procedure for mutual agreement discharge:

The Center director sets meeting with parents and teacher, contacts them verbally and follows up in writing:

• Contents of meeting documents in writing placed in child's folder
• The Center director will refer the parents and child to appropriate outside resources if necessary
• Center staff will work cooperatively on an ongoing basis with the parents and child and an outside agency if necessary
• Regular meetings with parents and staff will be scheduled throughout the process
• Our appeals committee will deal with a discharge if necessary; all possible alternatives will be explored

Parent initiated voluntary discharge:

• Financial obligation is locked in for the entire session for which you are enrolled - semester, interim, summer.
  
• An appeals form is available from the Center Director and will follow the appeals procedure as stated in the parent handbook.
