CPA Exam Bulk Scheduling

NASBA Introduces Bulk Scheduling

New Bulk Scheduling Program

NASBA has authorized a new program for colleges, universities and CPA firms to utilize Prometric’s Bulk Scheduling service in the United States for scheduling candidates for the Uniform CPA Examination

The goal of this program is to allow colleges, universities and firms to reserve seats at select test centers for their cohorts of candidates at a nominal cost. This will enable candidates to test as a group, aligning with their CPA Exam preparation schedules. We hope this program will foster the benefits of study cohorts and provide added accountability for completing testing.
