Procedure to Register
Step 1: Registration
You first choose a School and a Degree Program. At present, Calwest University only offers the MBA and DBA programs via the School of Business to CMA-certified members of the Institute of Certified Management Accountants, a bona fide professional organization.
If you are not a CMA-certified member of ICMA, you need to join ICMA directly via that institution's website.
The one-off cost of registering as a Calwest student is US$200.
Step 2: Upload Admission Documentation
You need to provide all evidence of meeting the admission requirements for your program. Once you have Registered and Enrolled in a degree program, use your ID Number and Password provided via email to Log-in. Then navigate to the STUDENT MENU “My Courses” and complete your Admission Requirements. This is your first “assignment”, in which you will be uploading scanned copies of your certified Degree Certificates and Resume (C.V.). You will need to wait (maximum time is a week) until your Admission documents are accepted prior to commencing studying.
Step 3: Undertake Study Program
Upon acceptance of your Admission Documentation, go to HOME PAGE — STUDENT MENU “My Programs”. A Study Program is provided to you with the Core courses and Electives required to obtain the degree.
Click on a course and if you are interested in studying it, then pay the course enrollment fee. For Calwest courses via Tubeclasses the fee is US$800 per course. Research courses are $1,000 per course.
Step 4: Get Recognition for External Studies
If you have already completed equivalent prior studies of any course at an accredited university, you can get recognition for such prior learning by paying a $200 Credit Verification Fee per course. There are limits to how many course credits you can obtain from external courses.
Alternatively, you may wish to have your external learning assessed by Calwest itself via a Challenge Exam ($800).
Step 5: Undertake Course Assessments
For Calwest courses via Tubeclasses, the proctoring fee is built into the fees. You have to complete Topic Quizzes (maximum of 3 attempts per topic) and a Final Course Assessment (one attempt). The grade obtained for the course will be posted on your Program schedule within 24 hours. Note that negative marks will be attached to wrong answers in the Topic MCQs.
Step 6: Complete Required Study Program
On completion of all courses and the accumulation of the required credit points, you will be given access to apply for Program Completion. The Program Completion and Degree Granting Fee is US$350.
Step 7: Graduate
If all courses have been successfully completed, and learning demonstrated, a Calwest Transcript and Degree Certificate will be issued to the student.
