Refund Policy

The Gulf Coast Chapter of the ACFE is a volunteer-led organization, and event registrations help us commit to venues, speakers, meals, and other event costs in advance. To help us keep programs affordable and accessible, registrants who are unable to attend must cancel in advance.

For paid events, cancellation requests received at least 48 hours before the start of the event will be eligible for a refund. Requests received after that time may be denied or handled on a case-by-case basis, depending on the chapter’s financial commitments and circumstances. No-shows will not be eligible for a refund, and unpaid registrants may still be responsible for the full event fee.

If the chapter cancels or reschedules an event, registered attendees will be notified as soon as practicable. In that case, registrants will either receive a full refund or, if applicable, the option to apply their registration to the rescheduled event.

If the chapter establishes local membership dues, those dues are non-refundable once paid, except where required by law or where the chapter determines that special circumstances justify an exception. This applies only to local chapter dues and fees; ACFE national membership is separate from local chapter participation.
