The Special Institute is 6.0 Credits, the two-day Institute is 13.0 credits, an all-day workshop is 5.0 credits, a half-day workshop is 2.5 credits and an early morning session is 1 credit.

Registration is constantly changing and we prefer not to provide this information out over the phone. An event could be open now, but be closed by the time your registration is processed or it could be closed now but someone may drop out of it and it will re-open. We recommend you submit several choices.

No, if you wait you take the chance of being closed out. It is better to register now and if once you view the online course catalog you realize it’s not what you want, you can always switch into another event that is open.

No, the Special Institute is not included and is a separate fee.

No, the minimum you can register for is the single day rate even if you only go for half the day. Additionally, the single day rate can only apply to one day (i.e., a person cannot attend an afternoon workshop on Thursday and a morning workshop on Friday).

No, you must attend both days in order to be given full credit for attending.

Registration forms must be accompanied by payment. If you fax or phone in your registration we ask that you include credit card information.

Yes, however we would prefer that your put your change in writing and send it to us either by email memberservices@agpa.org or fax it over to Member Services at (301) 869-8608.
