Registration FAQs

How do I get to my course?

You can view directions to the CTCPA Education Center and any other course location right online.

I haven't gotten my course confirmation. How do I know if I'm registered? 

Course confirmations will be sent via email. Your confirmation will verify all program details. If you have not received an email confirmation at least two business days prior to the course date, contact the Society office to ensure receipt of your registration at 860-258-4800.

Is there an advantage to registering early?

Yes. Early registrations can save you money and avoid cancellation of a course. We recommend registering at least two weeks prior to the scheduled date of a CPE program. CTCPA is obligated to cancel presentations with low enrollments several days before the event date. By registering early, you'll help ensure adequate advanced enrollment so the course will run as scheduled.

If your registration and payment are received before the early bird expiration date, you'll also receive the "Early Bird" discount!  If you register online, you can also still receive the "Plan and Save" discount.

Will I save money if I register online?

Yes. Our popular Plan and Save discount is available online. No complicated registration form! You can save $20 off each eight-hour course with the Plan and Save web discount program when you register for three eight-hour programs. This discount is available only on www.ctcpas.org. Hurry, this discount is available for a limited time!

Which fee do I pay?

The member fee is extended to the following CTCPA membership categories as well as members of any state CPA society:

• Fellow:  A CPA with a certificate issued by the State of Connecticut. 
• Associate: A CPA whose certificate was issued by a state other than Connecticut, and who has not achieved reciprocity. 
• International: Equivalent of a CPA of any country other than the United States. 
• Affiliate: A candidate who has passed all parts of the CPA examination but has not yet received a certificate from any state.
• CPA Candidate Pledge: An aspiring CPA who's working in a firm, has had a bachelor's degree for no more than five years, and has not yet passed the CPA Exam. 

What does my registration fee cover?

Quality CPE, all course materials, and lunch and break refreshments.

What is the CPE Subscriber Program?

In light of the recent 2012 CTCPA bylaws vote, the CPE Subscriber Program is no longer available.  Select non-CPAs are now eligible to join the CTCPA as Associate (Non-CPA) Members.  Download the Associate Member application (PDF).

Can I go to courses in other New England states?

• Maine

• New Hampshire 

• Vermont  

• Massachusetts

What happens if I have to cancel?

Cancellation requests must be received seven days prior to the course date in order to receive a refund. A $20 administrative fee will be charged for each refund. Substitute registrants are allowed. In the case of a no-show registrant, course materials will automatically be sent by mail to the registrant.

Special note concerning e-materials: Program cancellations will not be allowed once the link to your e-materials has been sent.

Is it possible to transfer to another program instead of canceling?

Yes. Transfers must be made at least one week prior to the program date to avoid any penalty; to transfer your registration, call the CPE department at 860-258-4800.

Can I send a substitute?

Yes. Your registration can be transferred to another person if you are unable to attend a program. CPE credit will be given to the person who attends the program. Substitutions may be handled at registration the day of the program.

Can I get a credit summary of classes I have completed?

Absolutely! The CPE section of the CTCPA website features a helpful "My CPE" hub. My CPE puts everything you need for your CPE experience right at your fingertips: your current registrations, your CPE Transcript (which includes all CTCPA courses taken since 2006/2007 and can be modified to include any external courses), and any e-Materials available for your courses.
