- All course materials are developed by CBV Institute, in conjunction with CBVs who are subject matter experts in their respective fields
- The passing grade for all CBV Institute courses is 60%
Impact of COVID-19 on CBV Institute Program of Studies and 2020 MQE
The Program of Studies is a self-directed study program that is offered entirely online. Course exams in the Program of Studies are written online under the monitoring of online proctors from Examity. As such, the impact of COVID-19 on the Program of Studies is expected to be minimal. Students should be aware of the following:
- Many colleges and universities across North America are moving their courses online, and will be relying on Examity (and other online proctoring companies) to facilitate this. This means that customer service assistance from Examity may not be as prompt as desired. We ask that Students be patient in this regard, while the North American educational community reacts and adjusts to this ongoing situation.
- The CBV Institute Program Office at York University (cicbv@yorku.ca) will be managed offsite over the next few weeks, but will still be available for student enquiries as always.
- At this time, we do not anticipate any delays with respect to the Winter 2020 exam results.
- Registration for the Spring/Summer 2020 term will still open on April 17th.
The 2020 MQE will be written (in person, at exam locations) on September 30th. At this time, we do not anticipate that the MQE writing format will change. However, the health and safety of our Students and the general community is of the utmost importance to us; and we will continue to monitor the situation surrounding COVID-19, and will continue to seek guidance from the World Health Organization, governments and public health officials.
