Registration for Fall 2011 and New Teacher Accounts Sep 11, 2011 @ 09:35 PM

Welcome back to another exciting term of CA-SBC kindly sponsored by the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAO)! We look forward to working with you to provide a free (and fun) tool to help students understand business concepts.

CA-SBC Registration is open until September 23rd at 9pm. Make sure to create classes and teams (by doing so, your students will be registered for the student practice rounds taking place from September 19th to September 23rd)! A tutorial is available in the 'Information' section of our page.

CA - SBC would like to remind teachers who have participated in the past that they DO NOT have to create a new CA - SBC teacher account to participate in CA - SBC Fall 2011. Teachers who have registered an account in the past may use the same account to register their classes for CA - SB Fall 2011 and thus do not need the registration code.


If you have an account, but do not remember your login information, please use the 'forgot password' link on the login page or send us an email at sbc@sprott.carleton.ca. If your email, other contact information, or even school information has changed since you last participated, you can still use the same account. You can login to your account to update your information or email CA - SBC and we will assist you with this process.

New teachers to CA - SBC must create a teacher account and DO need the registration code. To request the registration code, please contact CA - SBC via the code request page of the website.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. CA - SBC can be contacted either by email(sbc@sprott.carleton.ca) or voicemail (613.520.7565).

Cheers,
CA - SBC
