Student Frequently Asked Questions
Proof of an NCA Assessment Report is an admission requirement for the Legal Research & Writing (LRW) Course. CPLED can not guarantee admission to an LRW offering for students without an NCA Assessment Report; however, once registration has opened, students can reach out to request to be put on the waitlist and will be admitted into the course if capacity permits.
The LRW course is offered six (6) times per year.
Late registration will not be permitted. As the LRW course is offered multiple times per year, if you miss the registration deadline for one course offering, you will be able to register for the next offering.
The LRW course is eight weeks long and will take approximately 60 hours to complete.
The LRW course is completed entirely online through the D2L online learning management system. The supported browsers are Chrome and Firefox. You must use one of these two browsers for full functionality in the learning environment. Ensure your browser has been updated within the last month. A reliable high-speed internet connection is required.
Throughout the LRW course you will complete two online multiple choice assessments, and complete and submit two comprehensive written assignments, achieving a weighted average of 60% or above to be successful.
Student loan funding is provided for full-time post-secondary level programs of study at designated educational institutions that are at least 12 weeks or more in length, leading to a certificate, diploma or degree and leads directly to employment.
Under federal student financial assistance regulations, additional practical or professional training offered by professional bodies, organizations or associations required for the practice of any trade or profession are not eligible for designation or the provision of student aid.
However, students can reach out to CPLED and request an approved payment plan, allowing us to work with you to minimize the financial burden of submitting the tuition fee by breaking up the payments into smaller amounts over time. Please note that your final course results will not be released if we have not received tuition payment in full.
The LRW course is delivered using the D2L platform, and D2L conforms with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). However, if you experience any accessibility issues while completing the LRW course, please inform us at LRW@cpled.ca as soon as you experience issues so that we may investigate.
For more information on D2L’s accessibility features, review their Accessibility and Navigation in Brightspace Learning Environment – Learner Guide.
The LRW course was developed in partnership with the National Committee of Accreditation, or NCA. Students enrolling in the LRW course must have received an Assessment Report from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. Any questions regarding whether or not you must complete the LRW course are to be directed to the NCA.
