1. How much do I pay for each course?

All course fees are specified individually. Please refer to each course. All CBE employees are entitled to a discount. The discount will be indicated at time of registration.

2. What happens if I miss a class?

Students are expected to attend all classes. 90% attendance is required in order to meet course objectives and be granted a satisfactory completion. If a student is absent from scheduled classes, he/she will be required to contact the Program Designer for re-entry or final evaluation for the course.

Each course will incorporate an assessment which will be made up of assignments, projects, journals or written tests. Each assessment is intended to measure the competency relating to the specific course. See Grading Criteria.

The fee that the participant pays in order to challenge a course, is used to cover the costs of writing an exam, the administration of comparing the courses taken with those that are being challenged and in many cases covering the cost of involving an instructor in the challenge process.
