If you need to retake an assessment due to not passing or missing an exam time, you must process a new Request from the CSA website and pay new fees.
​
There are no refunds or cancellation once you make a payment. Substitutions of other participants are not allowed. Schedule changes must be made by the user on-line 24 or 72 hours before the scheduled assessment (depending on proctoring type). By requesting and paying for an assessment you agree to CSA Terms and Conditions. Additional terms and conditions may apply as outlined by the proctoring company.
