2. Purchases of an  NYSSCPA Members-Only Individual POP 2012 Pass or Firm/Company POP 2012 Pass will be e-mailed a POP 2012 Pass ID number valid for up to 10 uses. Participants must reference this number to complete each registration. You may register for courses by phone, mail, fax, or online using your POP 2012 Pass ID.
 
3. Each POP 2012 Pass number is good for one registration for one eight-hour, full-day FAE program or two (2) four-hour programs held on the same day at the same location. (A two-day program requires two coupon numbers; a three-day program requires three coupon numbers.) There will be a $100 surcharge for the Investment Companies Conference, Hedge Funds and Alternative Investments Conference, Partnership Taxation Conference, and Exempt Organizations Conference.
 
4. The POP 2012 Pass numbers are owned by the paying entity. If a company or organization pays for an NYSSCPA Members-Only Individual POP 2012 Pass on behalf of a staff member who subsequently leaves the company, the remaining POP 2012 Pass numbers may be transferred to one member of the firm without penalty; however, a maximum of 24 CPE credit hours will be permitted for the second Pass holder.
 
5. All sales are final; the entire fee is nonrefundable.
 
6. Early registration is required for seminars and conferences. POP 2012 Pass registrations will not be accepted by FAE less than 14 days in advance of the program. POP 2012 walk-ins will not be permitted.
 
7. NYSSCPA Members-Only Individual POP 2012 Pass or Firm/Company POP 2012 Pass holder registrants who are “no shows” for an event will be billed $50. This amount must be paid before a registrant or a member of the company can attend another seminar or conference. All established late cancellation/transfer fees remain as they are for non-POP 2012 Pass holders. A list of fees is available on the NYSSCPA website.
 
8. All Individual POP 2012 Pass holders must bring a valid photo ID for admission to attend the CPE event.
 
9. Subscriptions to the POP 2012 Program do not entitle Pass holders to course materials without attending programs for which they are registered.
 
10. Pass holders leaving before 2:30 p.m. will be charged an additional $75 to cover the program cost. This amount must be paid before a registrant or a member of the company can attend another seminar or conference.
 
11. 2012 POP Passes are not valid for any FAE technical session, 3-hour breakfast conference, chapter events, or any on-demand self-study webcasts.
 
12. All terms and conditions for POP 2012 Pass registrations apply to webcast registrations. This includes, but is not limited to, the early registration requirement—registrations must be received by FAE 14 days prior to the event. POP 2012 Pass registrations for webcast participation must be submitted via phone to NYSSCPA Member Services at 800-537-3635. POP 2012 Pass registrants attending via webcast will receive course information approximately one week prior to the event webcast, as course registrations are delivered to the web vendor in a single batch. All registration inquiries should be directed to NYSSCPA Member Services at 800-537-3635.

A confirmation will be e-mailed to you confirming your seminar or conference registration. This e-mail is required for admission, so bring it with you when you attend the course.
