Refund policy
Draft — pending attorney and CPA review. Full refund within 30 days of enrollment, provided you have not passed the final assessment and have not been issued a CPE certificate. Once a certificate is issued the course is considered complete and is no longer refundable, because the CPE credit has been earned. Request by emailing [SUPPORT EMAIL] with your full name, course title, and order or enrollment confirmation details. 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].
Complaint resolution
Draft — pending attorney and CPA review. Email [SUPPORT EMAIL] with your full name, contact information, course title, and a description of the issue, including relevant dates and supporting detail. We acknowledge receipt within 2 business days.

Complaints and resolutions are documented and retained for [RETENTION PERIOD]. If you are not satisfied, escalate to [TITLE] at [EMAIL]. Nothing in this policy prevents you from contacting NASBA or your state board of accountancy.

CPE credit basis

NASBA word-count formula: (words ÷ 180 + questions × 1.85) ÷ 50, rounded down. Narration of the text adds no separate minutes. Claimed credit never exceeds computed credit.
