ENROLMENT

The Programme of Studies is designed to provide students with a sound working knowledge in the area of business and securities valuation theory and the ability to deal with various valuation-related issues generally encountered by professional valuators.

Registration Process:

Registration can be completed on-line,by mail, or by fax. On-line registrations are strictly for those paying by Visa or Mastercard.

Should there be any discrepancies upon review of a registration form, the student will be notified by the CICBV office. Students who wish to pay by credit card but not register on-line can either mail or fax their registration forms directly to the CICBV office. Registrations with cheque payments are also to be sent to the CICBV office. 

A requirement of admission as a Registered Student is that persons be of good character and reputation. Students are required to comply with the Institute’s By-Laws, Code of Ethics and Practice Standards.

Course Fees/ Student Fees / Surcharge for overseas students:

Course fees cover the cost of course notes (per course) and the supervision and marking of examinations, regardless of whether or not a student writes an exam. Course fees are non-transferable. (For course fees, please check here)

A surcharge is levied on overseas students for the additional cost of administering their exams.

An Annual Student Fee is charged to cover student services and publications provided by the CICBV office. A tax receipt is issued at the end of February each year and will be available in the student profile under Tax Receipts tab.

Deferral and Re-enrolment:

Re-enrolment allows a student who was not successful in their first attempt or who was not able to complete the course to enrol in subsequent semester for a reduced fee. A reduced re-enrolment fee, equal to one half the full course fee, will apply for two re-enrolments after which the fee for enrolment will be the full course fee. 

Students who re-enrol will not receive course notes as part of their enrolment.  If additional course notes are required, they can be purchased at additional cost.

Students who are unable to complete their course(s) in the given semester should advise, in writing (e-mail), both the York University and the CICBV of their intent to defer the writing of their examination.
  

Withdrawing from the course:

Students have 15 days from the receipt of  their course notes to withdraw from course and be eligible for a refund. All course notes must be in good condition and returned to York University.

This Policy does not apply to registrations received after the closing date unless waived by the CICBV office.

The cancellation fee is $50.00 per course for North American students and $100.00 per course for overseas students. The cancellation fee for re-enrolment is $25.00 if cancelled within two weeks of registration.
The student fee will be refundable only in the case of a full cancellation, i.e. the student cancels his/her registration for the semester which included payment of the student fee.
