Frequently Asked Questions
UTD students will register by logging on to Marketplace, selecting ASCM Prep Course tab and selecting then appropriate prep course.
Community college and university students (i.e., UT Dallas’s students) do not receive books and related materials since the registration fee is nominal. If you would like to purchase books/materials, you should consult with the instructor during the first class session and then purchase directly from the ASCM or from the ASCM North Texas website.
NOTE: Individuals and working professionals who do not hold student status and interested in APCICS prep courses should contact ASCM North Texas for registration and books.

Yes, it is strongly recommended that you attend and participate in all sessions in order to gain the knowledge required to pass the exams.
The prep courses provide you with the knowledge to prepare for the ASCM exams. However, participating in class and not studying after class would not help you pass the exams. This means that students must spend time and study outside of class time to pass the exams successfully.
