REGISTRATION INFORMATION Prerequisites

The CFA Program is postgraduate. The readings assigned in the study program and the questions on the CFA examinations are designed for individuals who are prepared to deal with “masters” level course work. No specific prerequisite courses of study are prescribed for enrolling in the CFA Program, but applicants should be aware that assigned readings in many topic areas are beyond a basic, introductory level. Examinations

The CFA examination is offered at locations throughout the world. Candidates must complete three levels of examinations sequentially. Candidates who fail an examination are encouraged to repeat the level. The Level I examination is composed of multiplechoice questions, Level II is composed of item sets, and Level III consists of essays and item sets. The Level I examination is offered in June and December; Levels II and III are offered only in June. Candidates may enroll for only one examination at a time. Candidates must wait to receive their examination results before enrolling for the next examination, since the results will determine whether a candidate must repeat the current level or advance to the next level. Basic Entrance Requirements

To register for the CFA Program, an applicant must: • Have a US bachelor’s degree or comparable nonUS degree (the degree requirement is selfreporting); or • Be a college or university student scheduled to receive a US bachelor’s degree or comparable non-US degree no later than 31 December of the current CFA examination year. Degrees must be confirmed in writing to CFA Institute upon receipt of the degree. (If a student does not obtain his or her degree by the 31 December deadline, his or her candidacy will be cancelled, You can Register/Enroll online at www.cfainstitute.org

examination results will be voided, no refund of submitted registration and enrollment fees will be issued, and he or she will need to register again and pay all applicable fees to re-enter the program); or • Have at least four years of qualified professional work experience (this experience does not have to be investment related; summer, part-time, and internship positions do not qualify). Employment dates (month and year) and a detailed description of duties for all current and previous positions must be included with the Registration & Enrollment Form; or • Have a combination of college/university and professional work experience that total at least four years. (The work experience does not have to be investment related, and the four-year total must be accrued by the application date. Summer, part-time, and internship positions do not qualify.) Details must be included with the Registration & Enrollment Form. • Complete, sign, and return the Registration & Enrollment Form, including the Professional Conduct Inquiry and Candidate Responsibility Statement located on the back of the form. The eight questions on the Professional Conduct Inquiry comprise the professional conduct criteria for admission into the CFA Program. If you have any questions regarding whether an incident or matter requires disclosure and/or whether the matter will disqualify you from participating in the CFA Program, please send a written inquiry to [email protected]. • Pay the required fees. Application Processing

Processing may take up to three weeks. Study Guides are sent to applicants when payment is processed. Receipt of a Study Guide does not indicate acceptance into the program. Notify CFA Institute if your Study Guide is not received within four to six weeks. After receipt of the Study Guide, you also will need to obtain the assigned textbooks. After an application is approved, an official acceptance letter is 3

sent if all entrance requirements are met. If an official acceptance letter or notice of incomplete application is not received within six to eight weeks after mailing your application, it is your responsibility to contact Information Central (E-mail: [email protected]; telephone: 434951-5499; facsimile: 434-951-5262). Incomplete Applications

Applications are considered incomplete if any information required for entrance is not provided, if the Professional Conduct Inquiry and Candidate Responsibility Statement are not completed and signed, and/or if appropriate payment is not submitted along with the correct form. Applicants submitting incomplete applications will be sent only one notice from CFA Institute. Completed applications must be received by CFA Institute within 30 days of the date on the written notice, therefore missing information and/or items should be sent via overnight carrier to avoid postal-service delays. Applicants should check their status with Information Central within two weeks of mailing this information. If an applicant/candidate does not properly complete his or her application within the designated time period, or meet the entrance requirements, including the professional conduct criteria, the application will be cancelled and the applicant/candidate will receive a reimbursement of all current examination fees less a US$100 processing charge. Applicants/ candidates with denied credit cards or no payments will not receive a refund and will be cancelled from the program. Applicants/candidates with cancelled applications will not be eligible to sit for the current examination unless a new complete Registration & Enrollment Form is submitted by the stated deadlines and all current fees are paid.

Although the CFA Program is essentially one of individual study, study-group programs are also available through a variety of sources, including CFA Institute Member Societies. Many CFA candidates live in areas with a local study-group program. Where distance makes large groups prohibitive, candidates might organize study programs with one or more associates in their localities. Information on Member Society study groups is available in the Candidate Services section of the CFA Institute website (www.cfainstitute.org). Results Reporting

Examination results are reported as “pass” or “fail.” Actual examination scores are not released. Results are posted on the CFA Institute website usually within 90 days of the examination date. Examination results are never released over the telephone. A summary of examination results may be distributed without candidate identification to CFA Institute Member Societies, CFA examination prep-course sponsors, and others. All examination materials, including answers, are the property of CFA Institute and will not be returned to the candidate in either original or copied form.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can you provide guidance in helping me to determine if my degree is comparable to a US bachelor’s degree? Generally, applicants must have reached a level of study that qualifies them for acceptance to university graduate programs in the countries where they earned their undergraduate degrees. If you need assistance to determine whether or not your degree is comparable to a US bachelor’s degree, CFA Institute suggests that you contact your college or university to make an inquiry.

5

Am I required to buy all the books? CFA Institute does not require candidates to purchase all books used in the curriculum, but we strongly believe that studying the prescribed curriculum is the best way to prepare for the examinations. Remember that the examinations are developed directly from the curriculum and are consistent with the Learning Outcome Statements (LOS) prescribed by CFA Institute. There is no substitute for studying the original material. How much time should I plan to dedicate to preparing for the examination? CFA Institute estimates that you will need to devote 10 – 15 hours per week for 18 weeks to prepare adequately for the Level I or the Level II examination. Registering late may place you at a disadvantage in relation to candidates who are already enrolled and have been studying for several months. The questions and guideline answers to the Level III essay questions are provided to candidates on the CFA Institute website. Where can I get copies of the questions and the answers for the Level II and III item sets? Neither the Level II and III item set questions and answers nor the Level I questions and answers are released to the public. A Level I sample examination and Level II and III sample examinations are made available on the CFA Institute website, usually in February preceding the June administration of the CFA examinations. If I am a candidate, am I also a CFA Institute member? No. Candidates who wish to earn the CFA charter must first join CFA Institute and apply for membership in a CFA Institute Member Society. You will find more information on CFA Institute membership on the CFA Institute website at www.cfainstitute.org. I am calling from the accounting department of XYZ Investments. May I verify the status of an employee’s application? CFA Institute will verify the status of the payment; however, all other information is confidential. Please have this individual contact us directly for further assistance. 6

What is the CFA Institute contingency plan for the examination in the event of inclement weather? CFA Institute will make every effort to administer the examination as scheduled. Please refer to “Reservation of Right to Cancel Examination” on page 7. Since CFA Institute has a no-refund policy, may I apply my enrollment fees to the next examination date? Candidates cannot carry forward (defer) enrollment fees. In addition, registration or enrollment fees cannot be transferred from one applicant/candidate to another applicant/candidate. When will I receive specific details on my test center location? The exact location of your test center will be provided on your examination admission ticket. Tickets are issued in April for the June examinations and in October for the December Level I examination.

CANDIDATE RESPONSIBILITIES Code and Standards

When you enroll in the CFA Program, and ultimately if you are to become a CFA charterholder, you are doing more than simply mastering a Body of Knowledge, you are committing to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct. This commitment is not to be taken lightly; it demands that, above all else, you put the interests of your clients first. There is nothing that CFA Institute does as an organization that is of greater importance than promoting the use of its Code and Standards by investment professionals and enforcing the Code and Standards among CFA Institute members and CFA candidates. These are standards of integrity that you must abide by as long as you are a CFA candidate and/or a CFA Institute member. Sponsors

To be awarded the CFA charter, candidates must supply CFA Institute with acceptable professional sponsors. Candidates will be provided with complete

information regarding sponsors upon enrolling for the Level III examination. Address and Test Center Changes

Address changes may be submitted to Information Central via fax, mail, e-mail, phone or the CFA Institute website. Failure to notify CFA Institute of an address change may prevent or delay receipt of important information. Changing your address will not change your test center. To request a test center change, complete and submit the Test Center Change Request form available on the CFA Institute website. Your request must be received in writing by CFA Institute at least 60 days before the chosen examination date. Travel Documents

If you need to apply for a VISA to travel to a distant test center, please make arrangements well in advance. It is your responsibility to secure any necessary travel documents. Tickets and Identification

Admission tickets for the examinations will be distributed in April for the June examinations and in October for the December Level I examinations. Candidates must present their ticket and a current government-issued photo identification to be seated for the examination. Tickets will indicate the examination date, candidate number, candidate name, level, test center code, room/section, and test center address. Candidates should carefully examine their tickets and notify CFA Institute immediately by phone, fax, or email of any problems. Candidates will not be permitted entry to the testing room without a ticket and valid identification. To be considered acceptable, candidate identification must meet all of the following criteria: it must be current and valid, contain your photo, be issued by a government agency and be a single document. There are no exceptions to this policy. The CFA Institute preferred form of identification is a valid passport.

Violations of examination rules and regulations can result in the voiding of your examination results. To ensure compliance, please carefully review all issues of the CFA Candidate Bulletin and other candidate information on the CFA Institute website. Reservation of Right to Cancel Examination

CFA Institute, in its sole discretion, may determine that it is necessary to change the date, time, or conditions of the administration of the examination or cancel the administration of the examination to protect the integrity of the CFA Program. Such alterations or cancellations may also occur if the administration of the examination is hindered by any cause that could not be reasonably prevented by CFA Institute, including acts of God such as fire, flood, earthquake, storm, or other natural disaster; or, by acts of military, political or government authority. If alterations or cancellations occur, candidates will be notified as soon as possible. However, candidates should be aware that if the examination proceeds as scheduled, those who fail to attend will be ineligible for a refund. Policy Changes

CFA Institute may change its conditions, requirements, policies, and procedures governing the CFA Program and CFA Institute membership from time to time. Candidates and members are required to adhere to the revised conditions, requirements, policies, and procedures which will be published in various CFA Institute publications including the CFA Candidate Bulletin, CFA Magazine, CFA Institute newsletters, CFA Institute Bylaws, and on the CFA Institute website at www.cfainstitute.org.

Candidates who present invalid identification will not be allowed to sit for the examination. If a candidate is inadvertently admitted to the examination with an You can Register/Enroll online at www.cfainstitute.org
