Information about the Illinois CPA exam can be found at the Illinois Board of Examiners website at http://www.illinois-cpa-exam.com.  Students must meet the necessary requirements for sitting for the CPA exam, as well as sign up for the correct exam section, before the end of the class.  You will also be required to take the exam in order to complete the course.  All students will receive incomplete grades at the end of the course.  These incompletes will remain in the system until you provide the instructor with the results of your exam.  If you pass the exam, you will receive an A for the course; if you do not pass, you will receive the grade you earned in the course. 

The courses will probably be taught by Dr. Jeffrey Decker in Fall, 2009.  Review material must be ordered at least one week before the start of the course.  Please contact Dr. Decker at jdeck3@uis.edu as soon as you register for information about ordering review material for the course.

Anyone who is not a current UIS student and who wishes to take one or more of these courses must first be admitted to UIS before they can enroll. Information about admissions to UIS can be found at http://www.uis.edu/admissions. If you are interested only in taking one or more of these CPA Review Courses (and not in obtaining a degree), we recommend that you apply to UIS as a non-degree seeking student. Information about enrolling in the class, working with UIS computer systems, and the accountancy program in general can be found in the 2008 Accountancy Student Handbook, which can be downloaded at http://www.uis.edu/accountancy/about/links.html.

Information about tuition and fees can be found at http://www.uis.edu/registration/tuition/index.html. All UIS students, including non-degree seeking students, must pay both tuition and mandatory fees/assessments each semester. These fees are charged to all students, whether they plan to benefit from the fees or not.
