For more information about the application process please see the Application for
Transfer Credits. Transfer credit evaluation reports are retained on file
for two years from the initial evaluation date. If enrolment is postponed beyond
the two-year period, your transfer credits must be re-evaluated.
Challenge Exams
A once-only challenge exam may be permitted at the discretion of CGA Ontario for
advanced level equivalent courses or if there is any doubt as to whether or not
a transfer credit is justified. Challenge exams are written within one year of enrolment
in the program. A student who is unsuccessful in a challenge exam must then enrol
in the same CGA course that was challenged. The fee for the challenge exam includes
the lesson notes for the course.
