Challenge Examinations
During the admissions process, all professional experience is reviewed to determine if an applicant has sufficient occupational experience to warrant taking a Challenge Examination, in lieu of completing the Study Guide for a particular course.
An applicant may be offered an opportunity to complete a Challenge Examination if the candidate's profesional expertise appears to be comparable to the objectives identified for a particular course. Successfully passing a Challenge Examination will demonstrate an acceptable level of competence for that course. If a student does not pass a Challenge Examination, they are assigned a Study Guide for completion.

Study Guides
California Coast University has developed comprehensive Study Guides for each course that are designed to coordinate and sequence the learning materials for the student. Study Guides are based on specific college level textbooks, which may be obtained from local bookstores, the publisher, or the University's lending library which is available by telephone, e-mail or online via Coast Connection.
Study Guides are organized in such a way that students receive a complete syllabus for each course along with instructional materials, which guide students chapter by chapter through the corresponding textbook.
Each Study Guide contains an overview and summary of each textbook chapter, along
with a listing of important keywords (with definitions) and self-tests (with answers)
on key points.
Study Guides contain 4 "Unit Test" equally spaced throughout the instructional materials, a brief writing assignment and the Final Examination. Examinations are designed to test the student on the preceding chapters. All tests are un-timed and may be completed as open book tests.

Proctored Final Examinations
The Master of Business Administration Degree program requires that a Proctor administer the final examinations. All tests are un-timed and may be completed as open book tests.
The purpose of the proctored examination is to verify that you are, in fact, the person who enrolled in the course of study. During proctored examinations, you may use your course textbook, and any notes that you have taken during the completion of your Study Guide.
The student selects the Proctor. A proctor can be any responsible person who is not a family member. (Such as your Minister, Rabbi, a co-worker, librarian, etc)
