The following programs are available to Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) to be applied to CPE requirements:

Program Level
The courses listed are offered at a basic level to present learning activities most beneficial to CPAs new to a skill or an attribute, usually those at the staff or entry level in organizations. However, the programs may also benefit seasoned professionals with limited exposure to the area.

Prerequisites and/or Advance Preparation
Please see each program's description for any prerequisites.

Receiving the CPE Credits
Please contact the program coordinator at 713-348-4803 to request CPE credit information.

Refund Policy (unless otherwise stated for specific program)
Fees will be refunded in full when enrollments are canceled in writing one week before a course begins. If you drop a course less than one week before the course begins, no refund will be issued unless a replacement for you can be found, in which case a 20 percent processing fee will be deducted from your refund. Refunds will not be issued after the first class.

Course Cancellation Policy
Although we make every effort to maintain the published schedule of classes, such events as insufficient enrollment, instructor illness, room conflicts or inclement weather may require a schedule adjustment or cancellation. We will notify students of any change in the published information.

Student Questions and/or Complaints
Student questions and/or complaints regarding the administration of a program should be addressed first to the Director of Professional Programs, Carroll Scherer, at 713-348-6106. If she is unable to resolve the question, the next contact is Dr. Mary McIntire, Dean of Continuing Studies, who may be contacted at 713-348-4803. Please be aware that program instructors do not set policy for program administration and do not have authority to make changes to it.
