Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval, with written confirmation. If [SPONSOR ENTITY] discontinues a course before you complete it, you receive an automatic full refund or, at your option, transfer of enrollment to a replacement course. This policy does not limit any rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection law in [STATE].

Nothing in this policy prevents you from contacting NASBA or your state board of accountancy.
CPE credit basis
