Changes to the SOA and CAS Curricula are coming in 2018. For students who are not on track to obtain an Associate credential by June 2018, new components will be required to obtain an ASA or ACAS.
We’re here to help.
As we look ahead to 2018 and beyond, the ASM team is already working closely with our authors and instructors to adapt existing or create new study materials, online courses, and texts. If you have questions, concerns, or feedback throughout this transition, we encourage you to contact us.
Candidates seeking to earn an ASA or ACAS under the current requirements must plan carefully and adhere to strict timing and transition rules. Scroll to the bottom of this page for relevant SOA & CAS links. If you’re not on track to become an ASA or ACAS by June 2018, components completed/passed prior to July 1, 2018 will still earn transition credit for new components.
