On-Site Registration:
For individuals unable to register before the seminar, on-site registration is available the day of the seminar. However, NDSCPA cannot guarantee that there will be textbook materials available for you. If this should occur, NDSCPA will make arrangements to have the materials shipped to you as soon as possible.

Cancellation and Refunds:
For individuals unable to attend a seminar or conference sponsored by NDSCPA, the following policies apply:

• Full refund - If cancellation notice is received 10 working days prior to program date.
  

• Partial refund - If cancellation is received less than 10 working days prior to the program date, a $25 administrative charge will be assessed.
  

• No refund - If NDSCPA is not notified of the cancellation prior to the day of the course program.

Exceptions to this policy are considered on a case by case basis. NDSCPA reserves the right to cancel a program. Prior notice will be given along with a full refund.

Bonus Pricing:
The Bonus Pricing offer is available through June 1 only. An individual must register for at least three courses in order to qualify for the discounted prices. In the event you are unable to attend a bonus priced course, let us know at least 14 days in advance and you can switch to another program or we will refund your money. Any cancellations received after the 14 day notice period will require a $25 handling fee. (Emergency situations will be handled on a case by case basis). Sorry, bonus registrations can not be used by another participant. The Society reserves the right to cancel a program if deemed necessary. Prior notice will be given along with a full refund.

Member and Nonmember Pricing:
The member fee for CPE programs is available to North Dakota CPA Society members, CPE Learners Permit holders and members of other organizations with whom we have reciprocal agreements. Among others, reciprocal agreements are held with the North Dakota Society of Public Accountants, the Montana, and the South Dakota Society of CPAs. If you have a question regarding whether or not you qualify for the member price, please call the Society at (701) 775-7111. All other registrants are required to pay the NONMEMBER FEE.

Lodging:
Registrants are responsible for their own lodging. The Society reserves a block of sleeping rooms for participants at the hotel/program site, which is released two to three weeks prior to the seminar date. Identify yourself as a North Dakota Society of CPAs registrant and request our room rate. We suggest making reservations three weeks in advance.

CLE/UCE Credit:
The North Dakota Commission for Continuing Legal Education instituted a policy in September 1993 providing that sponsor applications for accounting seminars should be denied, but that individual attorneys may apply for credit under the Commission's Uniquely Connected Exception (UCE) guideline. This means that the Society's (or any other vendor's) accounting courses can not be pre-approved for CLE credits. Instead, attorneys may request UCE credits by contacting the Commission. To apply for UCE credits, participants should send the following to the ND Commission for Continuing Legal Education:

1. A copy of the NDSCPA's catalog page and/or seminar brochure
   

2. An explanation of how the seminar provided info uniquely connected to the attorneys practice.
   

This information may be brief, with UCE letters normally not longer than one page. An attorney may not claim more than 20 UCE hours during any reporting period. Questions and/or applications for UCE credits can be directed to the North Dakota Commission for Continuing Legal Education, P.O. Box 2136, Bismarck, ND 58502. (701) 255-1404.
