COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Because this is a dynamic industry, specific course requirements are based on date of enrollment. If you are not sure of your particular course requirements, please check with BOMI International.
REFUNDS
A request to cancel registration for an educational class must be submitted in writing via email up to seven (7) calendar days before the class starts in order to receive a 100% refund. The textbook must be returned unopened to BOMA Indianapolis in all cases where a student cancels registration. Once the book has been opened, $200 will be owed, as BOMA Indianapolis cannot return an opened book to BOMI International.
COMPUTER-BASED TESTING (CBT)
Exams are administered via Computer-Based Testing (CBT) through our testing provider, Pearson VUE. The registration fee provides for one testing session during the six-month eligibility period, which can be scheduled at the students convenience at a Person VUE testing center of their choice. You should receive an email from Pearson VUE within the first few days of class. If you don't, please tell your instructor right away.
EXAM ELIGIBILITY PERIOD
Students have a six-month eligibility period to schedule and take their exam. For Self-Study students, the eligibility period begins on the date of registration; for Classroom students, the eligibility period begins as of the first day of class. If a student does not take the exam within this period, the student must pay an Exam Administration Fee to begin a new six-month eligibility period.
EXAM ADMINISTRATION FEE (INCLUDES EXAM TRANSFER, EXAM NO-SHOW, AND RETEST)
Students who fail an exam, do not cancel a scheduled exam appointment, or require an additional six months to take the exam will incur an Exam Administration Fee allowing for an additional six-month eligibility period. This fee includes testing and administrative fees and is $100.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE
To ensure sufficient time to prepare, students should be registered ten (10) business days prior to the class start date. A $100 (USD) late fee will be applied to registrations received thereafter. Additional shipping fees apply and BOMA Indianapolis must pass those fees on to students due to late registrations.
