CMA Review
Upcoming class schedules listed under the Registration Tab
CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) is the advanced professional certification specifically designed to measure the advanced accounting and financial management skills used in business today. Professionals who have earned IMA's CMA designation are relied upon by businesses around the world not only for accounting, financial, and information management, but for the kind of strategic planning necessary to successfully position an organization in the changing world of global business. By earning the CMA credential, you will demonstrate both technical and strategic competencies, grounded in a firm commitment to upholding professional ethics standards.
We offer a comprehensive exam preparation program that includes all materials and online practice tests.

Transfer Process
1. Complete the transfer form: You, the student, must notify the Division of Continuing Education that you wish to transfer from the registered course. Download the transfer form from the UCF Test Prep website. This first step in the process is the most essential. We will consider your transfer request active on the day and time that we physically receive the signed form. Any transfer forms received outside of our regular business hours of Monday thru Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM will be considered “received” on our next regular business day.
2. Payment: There is a payment required for transferring to another course. A percentage of your registration fee is applied as a credit to the new transfer course. The credit is determined based on how much of the course is remaining, and not on how many classes that you have attended or missed.
We determine the remaining time for the course from the point in time we receive the transfer form, not from the time it is dated and signed. Only class times that meet after we receive the transfer form will count as remaining course time.
The credit is applied to the current registration fee of the course being transferred to, and any remaining balance will need to be paid by the student. There is also an additional transfer fee of $50.00 (fifty dollars) that is added to your registration fee. The $50.00 transfer fee is required to be paid regardless of how much the credit is.
Registration Fee Clarification: If you transfer to another course you will be in the same fee category as the class you are transferring from. For example, you may not transfer and switch from the regular Registration rate to the Alumni rate (unless you have graduated prior to taking the new course).
Example of How the Credit is Determined: The amount of your credit is determined by how much of the course is remaining.
- We take the number of hours for your course (ex. 24 hour review course)
- Then subtract the number of hours the course has met (ex. 2 class meeting at 4 hours each equals 8 hours that have met).
- This will give us the remaining number of hours the course has NOT met (ex. 24-8 = 16 hours).
- The remaining amount of class is be divided by the total number of hours for the course (ex. 16/24 = 66.7%). This percentage of your fee is applied to the registration fee transfer course.
Sample: Orlando was taking the 16-hour review course, but after two class meetings Orlando decided that he wants to transfer to the 24 review hour course. Orlando paid $575 for the 16-hour review course, and the 24-hour review course fee is $700. How much will the credit be and how much will he need to pay?
Orlando’s class meets for 4 hours each session and there have already been 2 class meetings, so 8 hours of the course have already met, and 8 hours or 50% of the course remains. Orlando will receive a credit for 50% of his $575 registration fee that will be applied toward the $700 registration fee for the transfer course.
After the $287.50 credit is applied, Orlando is left with a $412.50 registration fee. Once the $50.00 transfer fee is applied to the remaining registration fee of $412.50, Orlando will need to pay $462.50 for transferring into the 24-hour review course.
Special Notes:
Transfers for LSAT, CMA and MCAT/PCAT/OAT/DAT will be handled on a case-by-case basis, please contact our office at 407.882.TEST (8378).
No portion of your registration fee can be applied to another DCE program or transferred to another person.
UCF Test Prep will not refund textbook purchases, nor will we supply the textbook for the transfer course.
