- What do I do if I'm on a leave of absence from my education program?
- If you are on a leave of absence from your education program, you have the following options:
1. Renew your student midwife registration and pay the
registration fee to maintain your registration until Aug. 31, 2023.
2. Allow your student midwife registration to lapse and reapply for student midwife registration (and pay the
application and registration fees) prior to your return to your education program. If you select this option, please apply well in advance of your anticipated return, as BCCNM does not expedite the assessment process to accommodate program start dates.
