On September 13, 1949, the Board of Education adopted a resolution creating an adult education program in Roslyn. As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Roslyn Adult Continuing Education, we invite you to join the many thousands of Roslyn residents who have participated in the program through the years.
The Spring 2010 Catalog is mailed at the end of January. If you are a resident of the Roslyn School District, or have taken a class with Roslyn Adult Education in the last few years, you will be sent the print version of the catalog in the mail.

The Adult Education Office
The Roslyn Adult Continuing Education Department is located on the lower level of Roslyn High School, down the stairs next to the Roslyn Teacher Center. Please enter the high school through the main entrance. Security staff will direct you to the office or to Adult Education classes.
Our phone number is 516-801-5091. The fax number is 516-801-5095.
Most day classes are held either in the exercise room (Room 139) or in the classroom adjacent to the Adult Education office on the lower level. After-school and evening classes are held in various rooms in Roslyn High School as well as the Roslyn Middle School. Room assignments are listed in the catalog.

Parking
There is a small number of designated parking spaces for Adult Education in the front of Roslyn High School, just to the right of the circle. Day class participants should request a valid parking pass from the Adult Education office. A pass visible on the dashboard entitles vehicles to park in designated Adult Education parking spaces, as well as in the large, main parking lot in any available, unreserved space. Parking is very limited on the high school campus during the school day. Cars that are illegally parked may be subject to towing. (Note: There is no parking for daytime Adult Education classes on the north side of the campus near the Administration Building.) For more information about parking at Roslyn High School, click here.
Adult Education Advisory Committee
The Adult Education Advisory Committee was founded almost 60 years ago, making it the longest continuously active committee in the Roslyn School District. By providing community oversight of, and input into, the Adult Continuing Education Program, the committee strives to assist in the development of programs designed to meet the educational, recreational, cultural and social needs and interests of all segments of the community.
The Committee meets six times per year, usually on the second Wednesday of the month from October to April (excepting January) from 9:45-11:00am in the Roslyn Administration Building. Meetings are listed in the Scope Calendar. Community residents interested in serving as volunteers on the Committee are encouraged to contact: Adult Education Advisory Committee, c/o Roslyn Adult Education, P.O. Box 367, Roslyn, NY 11576 or call 801-5091.
General Information About Adult Education
REFUNDS
A written request for a refund must be made one week before the first class. Trip refunds must be requested 30 days prior to departure date. For cancellations less than 30 days prior to departure, full or partial refunds are contingent upon the ability to sell the seat.
There are no refunds on registration fees, books or supplies.
There is no provision for a partial fee for taking one session or part of a course. Making up absences in another section of a course depends entirely on space availability in that section.
In the event that Roslyn Adult Education has to cancel a class, we will make every effort to reschedule the class. If the class cannot be rescheduled, we will provide a refund or credit.
PROOF OF RESIDENCY
In classes with limited enrollment, preference is given to Roslyn School District residents until one week prior to the first class (30 days for trips). Proof of residency may be required.

Class locations are listed in the catalog. The Adult Education Center is on the campus of Roslyn High School (for directions, see the last page in the catalog). In the evenings, there is a supervisor on duty in the Adult Education Center and/or the Foreign Language Center.
