Level I Withdrawal Option
Withdrawal forms must be received by CFA Institute by the deadline date listed on the form. Late withdrawal forms will not be processed or returned. If you do not withdraw by the deadline, you will not be able to re-register for the next Level I exam until Level I results for the current exam have been released.
As a re-registering candidate, an additional program enrollment fee is not necessary; however, you are required to pay an exam registration fee for each exam as determined by the fee schedule.
You cannot defer registration fees from one exam to the next
You will not receive any refund of fees
You may only be registered for one exam at any time
Registration forms must be received by CFA Institute no later than the final registration deadline for that exam
The curriculum and suggested readings will change from year to year and the exam is based on the curriculum assigned that year. The Level I curriculum does not change from June to December
Even after submitting your withdrawal form, you will be unable to register online until your withdrawal has been processed. Please allow 7-14 days for processing
Once processed, withdrawals will not be reversed
Once your withdrawal has been processed, another registration and another online registration fee must be submitted if you want to re-register for the original exam. CFA Institute will not accept registrations submitted after the published deadlines. Please allow three to five business days for withdrawal form processing. After you receive e-mail confirmation of your withdrawal being processed, you may register online for an upcoming exam.
There are no withdrawal options for Levels II and III.
Note that beginning with the 2008 exams, the curriculum will be included as part of the exam registration
