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
For the academic year 2010-2011 the SCOR-S program enrollment is open to universities in the United States and Canada only. Pilots in select countries will be announced in 2011. 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.
