Education General Information

Cancellation/Refund Policy

All cancellation requests must be made in writing and received by ACRP at least 15 calendar days prior to the day of the course.  All cancellation requests received after this time will not be refunded.  Only the registrant may request cancellation of a course regardless of whether the course is paid by the registrant or another party.  The course fee less a $105 administrative fee may be refunded provided that the cancellation request is received at least 15 calendar days prior to the day of the course.  Membership dues and late fees are nonrefundable and therefore will not be refunded upon cancellation of a course.  The refund will be issued and sent to the party who initially paid for the course.  If payment was made by credit card then that credit card will receive the refund.  If payment was made by check ACRP will mail a refund check to the original payer.  There will be NO refunds to registrants who do not show up for the course.

Transfers and Substitutions

The fee for course transfers and substitutions is $80. Transfers and substitutions between courses will be considered on a case-by-case basis and ACRP will make the final determination on whether course attendees can transfer to different courses following cancellation of initial paid courses.

Late Fee

There will be a $150 late fee for all registrations received late as outlined per course description.
