CPA Preparatory Courses

Students enrolled in CPA Preparatory Courses may request to permanently withdraw by emailing [email protected].

Students who do not register for courses and do not pay annual dues during the academic year (April 1 to March 31) will be withdrawn from the program and must complete a new transcript assessment and admission process before registering again.

Note: Students must complete annual re-enrollment and pay annual dues before the applicable deadline to maintain active status. Students who have not completed the re-enrollment process by March 31 will be withdrawn effective April 1.
