Submitting a CPA preparatory courses admission application

You need to reside in Western Canada to enroll in CPA preparatory courses with CPAWSB. If you are a temporary resident of Canada, a study permit is required before you can apply for an admission into CPA preparatory courses.
 

When to submit an admission application and pay for annual student dues

Admission applications for CPA preparatory courses are accepted throughout the year. You should submit your admission application based on the session you plan to start your first preparatory course.

Our academic year runs from April 1 of the current year to March 31 of the next year. New Student fees cover either a full-year or half year and are based on when you start your first CPA preparatory course:

• $635 + GST is due when you submit your admission application before September 30.
• $320 + GST is due when you submit your admission application between October 1 and March 31.

The annual student fee you paid when you submitted your admission application will expire when the academic year ends on March 31 and will need to be renewed by paying the full annual student fee for the next year if you intend to continue your studies after April 1. Annual re-enrollment occurs every year at the same time for individuals who plan to continue their studies as a CPAWSB student. Please refer to our website for more information about Annual Re-enrollment.
