    CPE courses generally run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise stated. See exceptions below. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., or one-half hour prior to the start of the program. The luncheon is usually scheduled from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Due to the increased airport security procedures as a result of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, lunch may be reduced to 30 minutes to allow the discussion leader more time at the end of the day to catch his/her flight.

    If lunch is reduced by 30 minutes, class will end at 3:30 p.m. Specific times will be stated at the beginning of class.

    Vern Hoven's Federal Tax Update starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m.

  4. When do I have to pay for a course?

Fees

  1. What is the Early Bird fee?
    The Early Bird fee allows participants the opportunity to register early at a discounted price prior to three weeks before the course date.

  2. When is the deadline for Early Bird registrations?
    The deadline for the Early Bird fee is always three weeks prior to the event.

  3. If I am a member of another state society do I qualify for member rates? Can I still register online?
    Yes, if you let us know at the time of registration by typing it in the "note to registrar" box that you are a member of another state society we will gladly charge you member rates, or you can receive member rates by checking the box on the first page in the online catalog.

  4. I am an OSCPA member; can I send one of my staff members to a course and receive member rates?
    Yes, as an OSCPA member benefit you can send one or more of your staff members who is not a CPA to a course at OSCPA member rates. If you register them online, they can receive member rates by checking the first page in the online catalog when it asks if they are a non-CPA staff member.

  5. I am an OSCPA member and an AICPA member why am I not getting a larger discount?
    If the course is not sponsored by the AICPA then you will not receive an AICPA discount. If the course is sponsored by the AICPA and you do not receive the discount it means we do not have your AICPA membership information on file. Please contact OSCPA Membership Manager Sara Lockhart at 405/841-3800 or 800/522-8261 (toll-free), ext. 3814, with your AICPA membership information.

Find out more about Bonusbuy. If you think you are eligible for your free Bonusbuy course and you are registering online, please write us a note in the "Note to Register" box and we will review your account.

CPE Attendance Certificates

  1. I attended a course and I did not receive a CPE Certificate.
    A signed copy of the "Certificate of Attendance" form with the number of credits earned will be available at the conclusion of each CPE program. However, in some cases, the form may be mailed. In the case that payment has not been received, your CPE Certificate will be withheld until full payment is received. The CPE Department will then mail your certificate. If you had a late registration your CPE Certificate may not be available at the conclusion of the course. It will be mailed to you.

  2. I attended a conference and did not receive a CPE attendance certificate.
    CPE attendance certificates for most conferences are distributed to you in your conference packet. The certificate is a two-part form with a white and yellow copy. The white top form should be turned in at the conclusion of the conference and the yellow bottom form should be retained for your records. The yellow copy is your CPE attendance certificate. If you did not receive a form please contact OSCPA CPE Coordinator Shaina Greuel.

  3. I attended one of your courses and I forgot to pick up my CPE Certificate. What should I do?
    If you forget to pick up your CPE Certificate and your course is paid in full we will mail it to you at your preferred mailing address.

  4. I attended one of your courses and I can't find my CPE certificate. Can the Society provide me with a new one?
    If the certificate is lost or misplaced, it can be replaced upon request to OSCPA CPE Coordinator Shaina Greuel. You can also go online to CPE Transcript and print out a list of the OSCPA events you have attended.

Transcripts

  1. Can I access my transcript online?
    Yes, view your transcript online (login required).

 

Cancellations/Transfers

  1. What happens if I need to cancel a course or conference?
    Unable to attend a program for which you are registered? Inform the CPE Coordinator by e-mail at cpe@oscpa.com before the Early-Bird Deadline of the course and you will have the option to transfer to another course, have your money refunded or have your money placed on account with no cancellation fee for administrative tasks. If you cancel a course within 3 weeks of the course date and greater than 24 hours in advance, a $25 cancellation fee for administrative tasks will be assessed. A substitution may be made at no charge. Some restrictions apply for bonusbuy participants. If you cancel within 24 hours of the course, you will be considered a “no show,” forfeit your registration fee and be mailed the class materials.

  2. What happens if I do not cancel and do not attend a course or conference I am registered for?
    If you do not attend and do not cancel, no refunds will be given. Your course materials will be mailed to you.

  3. Can the Society cancel a course?
    Yes, the Society reserves the right to cancel a course or seminar due to an insufficient number of registrations. When this happens CPE staff will notify all registrants of the cancellation. Full refunds will be given, or transfers made. The decision to cancel a seminar with low registration will be made 14 days or more prior to the scheduled date. Early registration is encouraged, as it helps avoid unnecessary cancellations. The Society is not responsible for penalties or expenses incurred by registrants who must cancel travel arrangements.

  4. What about courses being canceled due to weather conditions?
    The staff of the OSCPA will make every effort to hold classes in all weather related conditions. However, cancellations will be made if the facility hosting the class is closed. If the class is cancelled due to weather, your money will be refunded in full or you can transfer your registration fee into another course. Please contact the facility by 7:30 a.m. to see if it is still opened or watch your local news station for closing listings. Decisions to travel to and from the course are left solely to the participant. The OSCPA will not be held liable for any injuries occurring due to travel. View a list of facilities and their contact information.

Hotel Information
Do you have a list of hotels close to your classroom facilities?
Several printable lists are available in our Hotels Near Facilties section.

Registrations

  1. Do you take walk in registrations?
    Walk-in registrants are those who did not pre-register for a course or conference, or those who submitted their registration too late to be processed before the course or conference. These registrations are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the high demand of some of our courses, such as Ethics, it is advisable that you contact OSCPA CPE Coordinator Shaina Greuel by telephone, 405/841-3800, ext. 3829, 800/522-8261 or e-mail to check availability and to confirm class date.

  2. Can I see what future classes I am registered for?
    Yes, go to the CPE transcript and you will find a complete list of the future courses you are registered for and the list of courses you have completed.

  3. I accidentally registered twice for a course. What should I do?
    Nothing. We'll catch the mistake as we process registrations. We will not bill your credit card for the extra charges.

Course Materials
Can I purchase the materials from a course without attending the course?
Program materials are available for purchase at the regular course price. Materials are only available for purchase until the date of the course. The reproduction of any materials is prohibited.
