CFA Institute- Approved- Defer Activation? activate, approved, frame, decide, before

siavosh

Right before the test I submitted my application to join CFAI. I was just approved and need to activate. Just wondering- is there a time frame by which I must activate? I feel pretty good about the test, but can I wait until August 6th to decide if I’m going to activate, or must I do it before then?
Thanks

I had the same question. My employer is stingy and in the end would do it, but my boss would look at me like I am some kind of moron since our budget is picked over with a fine tooth comb and he hates spending money on stuff like this.
I think I will send in the application, get it approved, and then do it asap on August 6th (god willing).

If your employer is footing the bill for membership and you don’t need to shell out the cash, I would suggest doing it now before the rush comes in early August. There’s no telling what kind of hold up there could be once results are released.
