Pre-Term 2008 Schedules/Calendars (changes shown in red)

When you arrive, you will receive an Arrival Binder.  This will include an updated schedule, your specific course assignments, and give you a full listing of all activities available to you during Pre-Term.

Pre-Term Academic Schedules:
The color grid included in MBA Bulletin #1 will give you an idea of what your day-to-day academic schedule will look like.  We have included dates for waiver exams, some optional activities, and social events.  You will be registered for courses according to the cluster to which you are assigned.  MBA Bulletin #1, indicates your specific cluster. You will receive your cohort assignment upon arrival on June 30. Bulletin #2 (which we will add to the Arrival Binder) will also give you valuable information about Pre-Term and its requirements and will include updated schedules. On June 30, we will post these grids for your reference.

Optional Events Pre-Term Schedule:
This schedule will be included in the Arrival Binder you will receive on July 30.  It includes the dates and times of our trading simulations, faculty lectures, communications seminars, and computer workshops.  There are two versions. One shows events day-by-day and allows you to compare events within a particular period. The other ("Co-Curricular Pre-Term Activities") describes the events to allow you to determine the types of events that would most benefit you. Any changes to these schedules will be shown in red.
