The registration fee is a processing fee and is only refundable if the minimum number of students do not register and this sports offering is canceled or if the student tries out and is not offered a spot on any team. If the student changes their mind, does not establish or maintain eligibility (including due to injury), or leaves Meridian, the registration fee remains non-refundable and non-transferrable.
