CPE Discount FAQs

• How do I use my CPE discount and when is it valid?

  Your Flex Account, ClassPass, or Mini ClassPass may be used on courses held from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022.
  
  Your Value Pass Plus may be used on webinars and self-study held through Dec. 31, 2021.
  
  CPE Academy access is valid through Dec. 31, 2021.
  
  Flex Account:
  After you complete the purchase of your Flex Account, you will receive a unique discount code. Use that discount code, to register for courses online and enter the code at checkout in the box provided. You can also call the PICPA to register for courses using your Flex Account.
  
  ClassPass, Mini ClassPass, and Value Pass Plus:
  After you "checkout" and have fully completed the purchase of your ClassPass, Mini ClassPass, or Value Pass Plus, you will be able to start registering for courses. Once logged into your PICPA account, you will see your discount information as a button that says, "Apply..." in your cart. Simply select that button to use that as the form of payment for your order. You can also call the PICPA to register for courses using your ClassPass, Mini ClassPass, or Value Pass Plus.

  CPE Academy:
  To access CPE Academy, log in to My Account and scroll to the CPE Academy section. Note, if you go directly to cpeacademy.picpa.org, instead of accessing through My Account, you may have issues with your password. You will need to click “forgot password” to reset.

• Can I transfer my ClassPass to another user?

  A ClassPass may be transferred one time to another individual in the same organization in the event that the original cardholder is no longer employed by that organization. Written notification to the PICPA is required. Once transferred, it is limited to a total of 40 credits from the time it was originally issued.
  
  Once you have purchased the card and have begun to use it, you may not transfer your investment to purchase a Flex Account or Value Pass Plus.
  
  Cardholders may not lend their cards to others.
  
  If you want a more flexible savings option, a Flex Account may be a better choice for you.

• Can I see my credit balance on my discount?

  You can monitor your balance in the My Account section online. Look for the Flex Account Tracker or ClassPass and CPE Discounts Tracker. There, you can see how many credits you have used and how many remain for your ClassPass, Mini ClassPass, or Flex Account. Value Pass Plus and CPE Academy are unlimited.

• What is the PICPA's cancellation policy if I used a CPE discount to register for a course?

  If you need to cancel a registration for a course, the PICPA must be notified in advance.
