What is the refund policy?
Cancellation requests made at least three business days before a course will receive a refund. Requests made later result in a credit balance (valid for six months). No-shows forfeit the fee. Substitutions are allowed — another person may attend in your place. To initiate a cancellation or substitution, call 973-226-4494 or email education@njcpa.org.
Can I transfer my registration to another course?
Yes, transfers are allowed up to one business day before the course. If you transfer to a lower-priced course, you’ll receive a refund for differences of $15 or more. Discounts from a CPE pass or bundle cannot be transferred. To initiate a transfer, call 973-226-4494 or email education@njcpa.org.
What happens if NJCPA cancels a course?
You’ll be notified immediately and receive a full refund (or a credit if originally purchased with a credit). Note: refunds are not given for courses bought as part of an event bundle or CPE pass. Every effort will be made to reschedule the program.
How are late arrivals and early departures handled?
CPE credits will be adjusted for anyone arriving late or leaving early. For the NJ Law and Ethics course (4 hours/200 minutes), no partial credit is allowed — you must attend the full session. CPE credit is granted at one credit per 50 minutes of participation.
What if I have special requirements?
Please contact us at 973-226-4494 to education@njcpa.org:
- Disability accommodations: At least three weeks before the event.
- Dietary needs: At least five days before the event.
I purchased a CPE pass or an event bundle — do I still need to register for events?
Yes, you must register for each event in the pass/bundle you plan to attend. You will not be charged a registration fee when you register. You can access the passes/bundles you’ve purchased on your My Events page. Click the bundle title to view or modify the events you are registered for.

How does NJCPA prioritize health and safety at in-person events?
We follow guidance from the CDC, state of New Jersey, local authorities and host venues. Protocols are reviewed and updated as guidance changes. If you are scheduled to attend an in-person NJCPA event, please:
- Stay home if you feel sick. (Refunds, virtual options or alternative programs may be available.)
- Consider the health of those you’ve been in close contact with — if they’re sick, stay home.
- Take your temperature before traveling to the venue.
While at an NJCPA event, please:
- Practice healthy habits (e.g., wash hands, cover coughs/sneezes, avoid touching your face).
- Follow CDC, state, local and venue guidelines in place at the time — regardless of vaccination status.
- Respect social distancing if asked and be mindful of others’ space.
- Notify the event organizer immediately if you begin feeling unwell.

Can I take screenshots or record sessions during a virtual event?
No. Screenshots, chat copies or recordings require full consent.
What about threats or illegal activity?
Any real or implied threats, or illegal behavior, will not be tolerated.
