Cancellations & Substitutions
Cancellations received in writing by March 24, 2025, will result in a full refund (minus a $75 administrative fee). Refunds will be processed via the payment method used to cover the cost of the original registration. No refunds will be given for cancellations received after March 24.
If the registrant is unable to attend the ACRP conference, they must speak with ACRP Customer Care to substitute someone else from the same institution/organization.
Substitution requests must come from the original registrant and include the original registrant’s name and amount paid, in addition to the replacement and attendee’s email and full name. Should the registration transfer occur between registrants eligible for different registration categories (member versus non-member), the substitute will be responsible for paying the difference between registration fees.
ACRP Contact Hours
Full conference attendees are eligible to earn up to 24.0 ACRP Contact Hours from attending in-person sessions and viewing the on-demand replays. While in New Orleans, the maximum number of ACRP Contact Hours that can be earned are:
17.0 - Full-Conference Registrants
11.0 - Weekend Registrants
5.0 to 6.0 - One-Day Registrants
You must attend the live session and complete the evaluation in the ACRP 2025 Mobile App within SEVEN days of the session date to earn contact hours. After seven days, attendees will need to watch the session replay in ACRP Learning to access the evaluation.
On-demand replay sessions will be available several weeks after the conference in ACRP Learning. New Orleans attendees will receive access to sessions based on their registration type (i.e. One-Day, Weekend, Full Conference). Non-attendees can purchase the replay packages (either the full conference or educational tracks) when they are available. You must view the replay sessions and complete their evaluations to earn the additional ACRP Contact Hours.
Please note, the maximum number of ACRP Contact Hours that can be uploaded to your record and applied towards Maintenance of ACRP Certification is 24 points. When you participate in ACRP’s on-demand educational programs, earned points will automatically be added to your record after completing the course or session evaluation. Additional points do not roll over into the next maintenance cycle. The deadline to earn and submit points for the Spring 2025 Maintenance Cycle is May 31.
