Important Notice
The CMBA program requires that all textbook and class materials be purchased before the start of
classes. If you cannot purchase your class materials you will not be able to receive a passing grade
in your courses.
If you are using Financial Aid, the disbursement schedule falls under the regular semester based
academic calendar, which the CMBA program does not follow. Because this is an accelerated
program we are under a quarter based and not semester based calendar. Due to this, at times your
Financial Aid will not disburse until a few weeks into the quarter. Regardless, class materials,
including textbooks, must still be purchased before classes begin.
