BLC Seminars for Alumni within One Year of Graduation

General BLC Seminars are available to Cox MBA's, PMBA's, MSiE's and MSM's for 12 months following graduation.  If you send a request to the BLC to take seminars upon graduation, you will be assigned a new online username and password for the BLC Registration System. 

  • Forum Only Seminars or Special Programs that require Forum+ status are only available for current students.
  • As an alumni, you are no longer eligible to reach a higher recognition level (Forum, CDBL, or Dean’s Circle).  Whatever level you reach as of graduation is the final level.
 

BLC Credit Policy Change (effective January 5, 2009 for all new students)

The Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children Program and the Disney Institute Program will not count towards the BLC Credits necessary to attain a BLC Award Recognition Level (Forum, CDBL, or Dean’s Circle) for students beginning a graduate program at the Cox School of Business as of January 5, 2009.

Effective Fall 2009, students will not receive a BLC credit for any Excel seminars.
