Final Examination
Each student enrolled in the course must complete their final examination online within 60 days of starting the course; the exam is available at any time. The final examination is online and open-book.
A grade of 70% or greater on the final examination is required to pass. Results will be made available to students within three (3) business days. Completed examinations will not be returned to the student.
Should a student be unsuccessful, the exam may be re-taken once for a fee of CDN$40. A student must register, provide payment, and complete the second exam within three (3) weeks of receiving results of the first exam.
Withdrawals
Students may withdraw from this course at any time; however, there will be no refund of tuition fees when notice of withdrawal is received after the student has gained access to the course materials.
A student who wishes to withdraw may arrange a transfer of enrolment to another student who is in the same enrolment category. This requires written notification from both parties, including a course application completed by the replacement student. The course must be completed within the original timeframe of 60 days.
Re-Enrolment
If a student fails a second attempt at the final examination, they may re-enrol in the course. If re-enrolment takes place within two weeks of being advised of the results of the second exam, tuition will be one-half the posted fee. For students who re-enroll at a reduced cost, there will be only one opportunity to write the final examination. If the student is unsuccessful, any future enrolment will be at the regular cost.
Certificates
Upon successful completion of the CARM Essentials micro-course, the student will be provided an electronic certification of completion that the student may save, print, and post on LinkedIn.
Communications
Email is the preferred method of communication. A student is responsible for maintaining the reliability of his/her e-mail address by updating the contact information in their CSCB accounts.
