Syllabus Highlights
Special Arrangements for Candidates With a Disability

From time to time, the Candidate Liaison Committee will highlight various exam policies that are published in the CAS Syllabus of Basic Education. For this issue, the focus is on special arrangements for candidates with a disability.

A candidate with a formally diagnosed disability who needs special testing arrangements must submit a written request to Preliminary Actuarial Examinations (for Exams 1/P, 2/FM, and 4/C) or the CAS (for Exams 3, 5-9, and Transitional VEE Exams) for each examination the candidate intends to write. Documentation of the disability (e.g., physician's statement, diagnostic test results), as well as the need for special arrangements, are required of each candidate; previous accommodations given to the candidate in an educational program or work setting may be considered. Requests for special arrangements and supporting documentation must be submitted at the applicant's expense at least two weeks before the registration deadline. Future Fellows - March 2006
