Eligibility and Registration / Transfer Instructions 

Only resident CBE students are eligible for full-time online learning with CBe-learn.  A resident CBE student is a student where at least one parent/legal guardian (or the independent student) physically resides within the geographical boundary of CBE, and at least one parent/legal guardian (or the independent student) is not of the Roman Catholic faith. Regardless of living or parenting arrangements, parents/legal guardians must only identify one primary address, which must be within the geographical boundary of CBE. To determine if you live within the CBE boundary, go to the CBE Find a School Tool and type in your address. If any school name appears, you are within our boundaries. If no school name appears, you are outside the boundary of the CBE and not eligible for CBe-learn.

International students are not eligible to attend full-time studies at CBE-learn.
