Withdrawals & Refunds

• Students registered in a CBV course may withdraw from the course using the CBV Withdrawal Request Form and receive a refund (less a $50 administration fee, which will be withheld) only if they withdraw within 48 hours after they register. After 48 hours, refunds will not be provided.
• A full refund will be granted in the event that the CBV cancels a course due to low enrolment.

Complementary Registrations

In the event of a medical emergency or the death of a loved one, requests for complementary registrations may be made directly to the York University School of Continuing Studies (cicbv@yorku.ca). Students will contact the Program Office if they are unable to write an exam (after the Opt out deadline). Valid supporting documentation (e.g., medical note from a physician, death certificate, etc.) which clearly outlines the details of the emergency that occurred and resulted in the student not being able to write their examination will be requested.  Please note that complimentary registrations are not guaranteed, and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
