Webinar Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Registration, Payment
We would like to purchase webinars for a group. Do you offer group rates?
Groups may attend ACRP webinars under one registration; however, if you need the contact hours, then you must purchase the webinar individually. The rate is $99 for each ACRP member and $124 for each non-member. Due to a number of administrative requirements, our system is set-up on an individual basis. Group discounts aren’t available when more than one person is applying for contact hours.
My company/department doesn’t have a credit card. Can I send a check?
Webinar registration is online only with a MasterCard, Visa, or American Express card.
I’m trying to register and it won’t go through. Can I send a check, or can you invoice me?
Enter credit card number without any dashes or spaces. Webinar registration is online only with a MasterCard, Visa, or American Express.
Is your webinar payment site secure? I received an error message.
Our website is fully secure. You may be using an expired link. Please try again via www.acrpnet.org.
I missed the registration deadline. Can I still register for the webinar?
Registration ends 12 hours in advance of the webinar to give registrants enough time to manage technical tasks beforehand. Please be sure to register in advance.
I have a schedule conflict/will be out of the office and want to transfer my registration to another person.
At this time it is not possible to transfer registrations from one person to another. The original purchaser should plan to access the recording at their convenience within 30 days of the original air date.

Upon purchase, an account is created in your name if you’re not already an ACRP member.

Is there a limit to the number of times I can listen to a Webinar Replay?
There is no limit as long as ACRP maintains a contract with WebEx and the Replay has not yet reached its expiration date. We suggest that you listen to the Replay, complete the evaluation form, and claim your contact hours (if needed) within 30 days of purchase.
I bought a Webinar Replay and now I can't access it. What happened?
Webinar Replays expire one year from the published "Original Air Date." A refund will be issued upon verification that the Replay has not been accessed and the contact hours have not been claimed.
How are webinars created?
ACRP has a quality management system in place to ensure the highest quality (topics and presenters) and a fair, transparent procedure. Presenter experts from the field either present their topic to us or the ACRP professional development staff asks for expert presenters on current, relevant topics in the field. Once the topic is deemed appropriate, the Professional Development Committee (PDC) reviews the content, the learning objectives and the credibility of the presenters. Changes are being made accordingly to ensure the highest quality. The PDC is made of 13 expert volunteers, including the CRA, CRC and PI experts that review content and moderate live events.
How long are replays available after the day of broadcast?
To ensure the content is current and relevant, webinar replays are available for one year from the original air date.
How often can I listen to the recording once purchased?
You can listen as many times as you want prior to the stated expiration date.
I listened to the recording. Now how can I claim my contact hours?
You need to complete the evaluation form upon completion to be able to claim your contact hours. ACRP reviews the evaluation forms to take corrective actions if required.
If we listen in group to the replay, will we all get the contact hours?
As there is no way we can check who actually sat in and listened to the recording, only the person that purchased the replay via our website gets the contact hours.
How much do replays cost?
ACRP Members pay $79 and non-members pay $119. This to ensure membership value.
Where can I find the list of webinar replays to choose from?
The list can be found on the Webinar Replays page.
Where can I find the contact information of the expert presenter?
The contact information of the expert presenter can be found at the end of the presentation (slides).
I have further questions. Who do I contact at ACRP regarding webinars and webinar replays?
You can contact ACRP's Professional Development staff at PD@acrpnet.org

Refunds
The webinar technology didn’t work. Can I get a refund?
Before purchasing a Webinar please visit the WebEx support page at http://support.webex.com/support/support-overview.html. Most technological glitches can be traced to your company’s firewalls, security settings, or other network issues. Please work with WebEx and your I.T. Department to resolve these issues in advance. If technical glitches prevent access to the live webinar, access to a recording will be granted. Contact hours are still available to the purchaser with the completion of an evaluation form within this 30-day window. If you must cancel, a $50 administrative fee will be deducted from your refund.
I need to cancel and get a refund.
Once purchased, webinars cannot be refunded. If your refund request is due to a scheduling conflict, you may contact ACRP's Professional Development staff, at PD@acrpnet.org for assistance with a link to the recording.
I’m unhappy with the content of the webinar. Can I get a refund?
Please submit comments on the evaluation form and/or use the feedback form at the end of the webinar. Depending on feedback from all participants, refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Any decision to offer a refund is strictly at ACRP’s discretion.
