While our overall cancellation rate is low, a program may cancel if a sufficient number of registrations are not received, if an instructor must cancel due to illness, or in the event of inclement weather. Whenever possible, the decision to cancel a program is made at least seven days prior to the event date, and participants are notified once the decision is made. Before making your travel arrangements, you may contact NCACPA to inquire about the status of any event at 800-469-1352. If the distance to the event site requires you to make airline and/or hotel reservations, please keep in mind NCACPA will not be held responsible for monetary loss due to cancellations or changes in air or hotel reservations. (Most hotels require a 72-hour advance notice to avoid a cancellation fee.)

We contract for meeting space well in advance of the event and try our best to estimate the number of attendees. Late registrations may increase the class size beyond the space limits of the meeting room, potentially forcing us to change venues. If a location changes, we will notify you as soon as possible by either phone or email. For this reason, please make sure we have your home telephone number and email address in our database.

Please indicate any special requirements on your registration form or call NCACPA at 800-469-1352 one week prior to the program.
