The Schedule of the CSAO

       The schedule for the CSAO is set by the Board of Directors of CEO-ECO following
                             rigorous consultation with the involved stakeholders.

• In registering for the CSAO, you will be asked to identify your date and location preferences.
• Every attempt will be made to satisfy your preferences, but as space is limited at each location, CEO-ECO cannot guarantee your preferences. Travel arrangements should not be made until an assignment to a specific administration site has been made.
• For reassessment at Spring administrations, you may only select the date option specified for reassessments.
• You may not take parts of the CSAO on one date and the remainder on another date.
• You may register for only one date of administration.
• The estimated reporting date for an administration is approximately six weeks after the last day of administration.
• Registrations from all eligible candidates will be handled on a first received, first processed basis.
• The CSAO will be administered in English-only at the Waterloo site for both Spring administrations, while offered in both French and English at the Montréal site. Fall administrations are offered in both French and English, regardless of location.
• Per administration capacity for both the Waterloo and Montréal sites is 80 candidates.
• A personal schedule indicating specific times and locations for the assessment components will be mailed to you approximately two weeks in advance of the assessment date, along with an identification badge.
• Your identification badge must be worn at all times during the administration and is required for admittance to all of the CSAO component assessments.
• Travel arrangements should be of sufficient flexibility to accommodate last-minute changes in the skills components schedule and provincial jurisprudence examinations that may be scheduled around the time of the CSAO.
• The address you provide on your registration form will be the address to which CEO directs mail to you. CEO will not send mail to any other address unless written notice of a change of address is received from you.
• There is NO extension of registration deadline dates. A valid cheque, draft or money order must accompany your application form in order for it to be processed. Any registration that is received without payment will not be processed.
• An Orientation Seminar will be held the day before each of the administrations, and provide you with an opportunity to ask questions and familiarize yourself with the physical facilities of the site.

          These policies are upheld to allow for appropriate security, bilingual administration,                 manageable numbers at each location, and optimum efficiency of administration.
