Please note:
Legacy Program Courses:
•E
ffective January 1, 2015 a minimum grade of 50% is required
for CPA PREP modules 1—4, 11, and 12. A minimum grade
of 60% is required for all other courses. Please be aware,
a 65% overall average is required for entry into PEP. Until
January 1, 2017, two standards for calculating that 65% overall
average apply and the standard that is most advantageous
to the student will apply - for more information on the two
standards see HEP policy 1.1.
Until June 2017, legacy CGA, CMA, and CA courses will be accepted
for entry into the CPA PEP. For students who are completing courses
required for entry into the CA, CGA, or CMA professional programs, these
courses will be accepted for entry into the CPA PEP. Students must meet
the prerequisite course requirements of only one of the CMA, CA, or CGA
pathways to be accepted for entry into the CPA PEP; students will not
be allowed to combine courses from the CGA, CMA, or CA pathways.
If a legacy track is applied, the minimum grading requirements for that
legacy track will apply.
•U
nless otherwise noted, all of the required courses for each
module must be completed for exemption.
•A
single course may appear against more than one module
in cases where it covers competencies across multiple
content areas.
Students who have completed either the CA, CGA, or CMA prerequisite
courses will be eligible to register for the CPA PEP upon completion of
their respective pathway’s Module Zero. Please contact CPA Western
School of Business for further information. www.cpasb.ca.
