Do you have proof of a degree? If not there probably will be a problem. Give the CFAI a call.

Well, my assumption is that if it is a requirement and you do not have proof of your degree you will probably: A) not be able to sit for the exam or B) sit for the exam and when you cannot furnish proof when requested your scores will be voided Also, if you do not meet the requirements and register anyway wouldn’t that be lying about your qualifications… it may be a stretch but I could see a potential ethics violation.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that violating Standard 1© - Misrepresentation is a potential ethics violation. When you sign up for LII you have to indicate whether or not you have a degree and indicating you do when you do not is clearly a misrepresentation of your credentials.

you have to bring your degree to the exam. as a precaution, bring the chancellor of your school to verify your alumni status

all you have to do is go cfainstitute.org >> Candidate Login >> Manage your Account >> Sign up for Exam >> Then Update your Education The Institute does the degree verification themselves… I would know, my gf works in registration at my university. As long as you actually have the degree, you’re fine. If you don’t have the degree and you wrote and passed LI, I’m pretty sure your LI grades are voided.

I could see them sanctioning him but voiding his L1 scores for registering for L2 before he had his degree? Seems odd.
