The SCOR Scholar certification program (SCOR-S) is available to select universities with an established supply chain management program. Universities interested in offering SCOR-S certification are invited to apply for participation. This page provides an overview of the steps involved in joining the program and the key milestones for each semester/year.
Steps involved in joining the program
The SCOR Scholar program is now open for enrollment to universities worldwide. The SCOR-S program should be offered as part of an existing supply chain management program at the university. Universities offering (executive) MBA programs may also consider SCOR-P certification. SCOR-P is an option for such students that have significant experience in supply chain/business. Please note: Students cannot enroll their universities or enroll themselves. The SCOR-S program is offered through participating universities only. Participating universities will provide registration information to students; contact your professor for details.
Steps 1 through 3 are required for first time application only. Steps 4 through 6 need to be repeated annually as part of the annual program renewal. Supply Chain Council reserves the right to audit all examinations without advance notice. Audited examinations not meeting the required minimal testing standards may result in all candidates to fail the exam and will require the university to re-apply and re-submit supporting documentation.
Schedule of events/milestones
Upon the completion of the enrollment the agreed schedule will be executed by Supply Chain Council and the university. The table below highlights the most critical events and milestones. The sequence of these events may differ based on the agreed schedule in the fifth step above.

Examination setup
All examinations are online proctored by university proctors. SCC staff will provide the proctors (1 for every 25 candidates) with instructions and a practice test (questions are not related to SCOR) to test the university infrastructure. Proctors need to complete this verification in advance to avoid technical difficulties at the time of the exam administration. Students will reciev instructions how to register for the exam. |
