Registration & Access

How confirmations, webinar access, same-day registrations, and waitlists work.

Before You Attend

Event Confirmations

After registration and payment are completed, you will receive a confirmation email with event details. Keep this email for your records because it contains the information needed to access the event.

Webinar attendees must complete a second step. To finalize webinar registration, you must submit your name and email through the GoToWebinar process so reminder emails and your personalized join link can be delivered properly.

Same-Day Registrations

Same-day registrations are accepted only if space is still available. Payment must be completed at the time of registration. Availability of seats, materials, or access links cannot be guaranteed for late registrations.

Sold Out Events & Waitlists

If an event reaches capacity, you may request to join the waitlist. Charges are processed only if your registration is confirmed. If space does not become available, your fee will not be charged or will be refunded in full.

Missed Session Access

Paid registrants may request access to a recording when one is available. Recordings are for review only and do not qualify for CPE credit unless a course is specifically offered as an eligible on-demand product.

CPE Credit & Attendance

What is required to receive credit and what does not qualify.

Credit Rules

Calculating CPE Credit

Sessions are structured to follow IRS and NASBA standards. Credit is awarded based on both time and participation requirements.

  • 1 CPE credit equals 50 minutes of verified real-time attendance.
  • Attendees must complete at least 3 polling questions per hour when required for the session.

Partial credit is not available under IRS guidelines, although some state boards may apply different rules. Review our State CPE Guide or contact your licensing agency for state-specific requirements.

Attendance Policy

Attendance is tracked through the email used to log in. To receive credit, attendees must remain logged in for the required portion of the session and complete any required polling or participation checks.

Materials may be provided to no-show participants on request, but receiving materials does not create eligibility for CPE credit.

Certificate Replacements

Certificates are typically emailed within 48 hours after attendance and participation are verified. If you need a replacement, email [email protected]. Replacement requests are usually fulfilled within 2 business days.

Refunded Registrations

Registrations that are refunded are not eligible for CPE credit. If a registration is refunded, any related certificate or credit eligibility is void.

Refunds, Satisfaction, and Transfers

How cancellations, future credit, course access, and transfer requests are handled.

Payments & Changes

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

If you complete a Basics & Beyond seminar or webinar and are not satisfied with the experience, you may request a transfer into a different session of comparable value at no additional charge. This guarantee is intended to move you into a comparable future session, not to issue duplicate credit for the same content.

Transfer requests should be sent to [email protected].

If Basics & Beyond Cancels

If we cancel an event, you may choose either a full refund or a transfer into a future course of equal value.

If You Cancel

Please notify us by email as soon as possible. Refunds are based on when your cancellation request is received:

  • 14 or more days before the event: full refund
  • 8 to 13 days before the event: 75% refund
  • 1 to 7 days before the event: 50% refund
  • Same-day cancellation or no-show: no refund

When a refund is not available, we may allow the registration value to be applied toward a future seminar, subject to our approval and event availability.

On-Demand & Self-Study Courses

On-demand and self-study courses become non-refundable once access has started. If you experience a technical problem on first access, notify us within 36 business hours of that first access attempt so we can troubleshoot the issue and determine whether a refund exception is appropriate.

Substitution Policy

If you cannot attend, another person may take your place only if the registration is updated in advance with the substitute attendee’s correct name, email address, and any required payment details. Certificates are issued only to the attendee whose information is actually registered in the system.

Special Cases & Operational Policies

Policies for weather, groups, speakers, recordings, and media use.

Operations

Inclement Weather & Emergencies

We try to hold all scheduled sessions whenever reasonably possible. If severe weather or an emergency affects an event, we will notify participants by email with updated instructions. If you miss an event because of a personal emergency such as illness or bereavement, we may waive no-show fees when appropriate supporting information is provided.

Group Discounts

Group pricing is available for groups of 3 or more. Attendees after the tenth person receive the same per-attendee rate as the tenth attendee.

To request group pricing, use Ask JoJo and choose Group Seminar Registration, or email attendee details to [email protected].

Each group member must sign the Group Sign-In Sheet available on our Resources Page to receive certification.

Speaker Discounts

Volunteer speakers may attend same-day sessions at no charge. Additional seminar days may be available at a reduced rate.

Photo & Video Policy

By participating in a Basics & Beyond event, you agree that photos or video captured during the event may be used for marketing and promotional purposes, including the website, email campaigns, and social media.

Support Guide
How do I register and receive my webinar access information?

Register at register.cpehours.com. After you register, you should receive confirmation and reminder emails connected to the GoToWebinar platform.

Check spam or junk folders for messages from [email protected] or [email protected]. If this is your first time joining, you may also be prompted to install the GoTo desktop app.

What do I have to do to earn CPE credit?

Each 60-minute webinar equals 1 IRS CPE credit when the attendance and participation requirements are met.

  • Stay logged in for at least 50 minutes per credit hour.
  • Answer the required polling questions during the session.
  • Keep the webinar window open so GoTo can record your attendance properly.

Replays and recordings are for review only and do not earn live-session CPE credit.

Where is my webinar join link?

Your personalized join link is included in the confirmation and reminder emails sent from [email protected]. These reminders are generally sent about 24 hours and 1 hour before the webinar.

If you still cannot locate the message, log in at attendee.gotowebinar.com or contact support.

How do I install or access GoTo?

You can join through the GoTo desktop app or the browser version at app.goto.com using the session ID from your confirmation email.

I have no sound. What should I check?
  1. Check the browser lock icon and confirm sound is allowed.
  2. Confirm your system output device and volume are correct.
  3. Close other apps using audio devices, such as Zoom, Teams, or OBS.
  4. Refresh the browser (F5 for Windows - Cmd+R for Mac) or rejoin the webinar.
  5. If needed, try Chrome or Edge, or restart the computer.
  6. If you are using the GoTo app, open settings and confirm the correct speaker and microphone are selected.

Telephone fallback: You may join online and select the phone-call audio option using the numbers provided by GoTo.

Important: Attendees who join by telephone only are not recorded for accreditation reporting and will not receive attendance credit. To receive credit, join through the GoTo desktop app or browser client.

I cannot see the screen or the slides are not advancing.

If you cannot see the screen, make sure the webinar window is not hidden behind another application. If you joined in a browser, confirm pop-ups are allowed and reopen the join link.

If slides appear frozen, refresh the browser (F5 for Windows - Cmd+R for Mac) or rejoin the session. Updated versions of Chrome, Edge, or Firefox generally perform best.

I hear an echo or feedback.

Close duplicate webinar tabs, disconnect one of the audio sources if you are using both phone and computer audio, and use headphones when possible. Then refresh (F5 for Windows - Cmd+R for Mac) or rejoin the session.

What if I miss the session or still need help?

Paid registrants may request a recording when one is available, but the replay does not qualify for CPE credit.

You can also use the help tools in the GoTo interface, review the GoTo attendee guide, email [email protected], or call 800.664.8297.
