U.S. colleges, universities and CPA firms now have the option to schedule testing for their cohorts of CPA Exam candidates through a new Bulk Scheduling program offered by NASBA (in collaboration with the AICPA and Prometric). Launched in January, colleges, universities and firms can now request scheduling blocks up to six months in advance of their desired testing dates, which will enable candidates to test in groups, aligning with their CPA Exam preparation schedules. 

Patricia Hartman, NASBA’s Director of Client Services, hopes the program will foster the benefits of study cohorts and provide added accountability for testing completion.  

The Bulk Scheduling process involves three steps: 

  • Contact NASBA by visiting this link: https://nasba.org/bulkscheduling
  • NASBA approves the institution for participation
  • Prometric will send a Letter of Acknowledgement, Bulk
    Registration Request Form and the Test Scheduling Form to
    the institution

It is important to note that a minimum of 10 blocks must be requested with each seat block request. Also, NASBA may suspend Bulk Scheduling during peak volume periods, following consultation with member Boards of Accountancy.
