Guidelines and Policies

University Unitarian Church’s Adult Religious Exploration Program is largely self-supporting. In addition to a small amount budgeted to the program annually, your donations collected for classes help to cover our expenses (e.g., mailings and printings, staff time for creation of rosters, packet assembly etc., building overhead, custodial time). If you cannot afford the full, suggested donation, please contribute what you can. (Additional donations are also welcome!) Class leaders are not allowed to promote their own personal businesses for financial gain.

General Fee Guidelines:
One session (1-2-hours): By donation
Two-three sessions: $15
Four sessions or more: $25.00
There may be additional fees if there is a required text, or honorarium for an outside presenter.

In general, there is no financial compensation to facilitators except for a stipend to those from outside the UUC community who will receive 50% of the course fees.
