This program enables students to earn credit for specific SOA exams by achieving a requisite UEC score in certain courses at approved universities recognized as Centers of Actuarial Excellence (CAE) . These courses and exams must adhere to standards set and monitored by the SOA. These standards include:  \n1. At least 85% coverage of the corresponding exam materials.  \n2. At least 80% of the UEC score must come from closed-book, proctored, in-person exams.  \n3. At least 50% of the UEC score must come from a cumulative final exam.  \n4. All course materials, exams, and grading are subject to review and approval by the SOA.  \n5. Students must achieve at least 85% of the UEC score to qualify for the corresponding SOA exam credit.  \nWhich SOA Exams are Qualified for the UEC Program at Purdue?  \nStudents can pass four SOA exams via UEC at Purdue. These exams include:  \n● Exam FM , via MA 373, Financial Mathematics1  \n● Exam FAM , via STAT/MA 472, Fundamental Long-Term Actuarial Mathematics, and STAT 479, Fundamental Short-Term Actuarial Mathematics2  \n● Exam ALTAM , via STAT 475, Advanced Long-Term Actuarial Mathematics  \n● Exam ASTAM, via MA 482, Advanced Short-Term Actuarial Mathematics  \n● Exam SRM, via STAT 474, Statistics for Risk Modeling I and STAT 477, Statistics for Risk Modeling II  \n1 The UEC credit for Exam FM can also be used to obtain the CAS Exam 2 credit.  \n2 Students will need to meet the 85% UEC score threshold in both courses within two years at the same university to receive the FAM exam credit.  \nPlease note that Exam P is not eligible under the UEC program at any institution, including Purdue. The SOA has intentionally excluded Exam P from the UEC program to ensure that candidates take at least one exam at an official testing center. This setting helps demonstrate to employers that candidates can successfully pass exams outside of the classroom setting.  \nPurdue has not yet applied for the UEC approval for Exam SRM. We plan to apply for this recognition in the upcoming UEC application cycle. If successful, Purdue will offer UEC qualified SRM classes starting in Fall 2025.  \n\n| Exam Course Code UEC Eligibility\u003Cbr>P STAT/MA 416 NO | Semester(s) Offered |\n| --- | --- |\n|  | Both Fall and Spring |\n| FM MA 373 YES\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>FAM STAT/MA 472 YES STAT 479 YES | Both Fall and Spring Both Fall and Spring\u003Cbr>Both Fall and Spring |\n| ALTAM STAT 475 YES | Fall Only |\n| ASTAM MA 482 YES SRM STAT 474\u003Cbr>STAT 490 Yes | \u003Cbr>|\n\nHow to Receive SOA Exam Credits via UEC at Purdue?  \nYou would need to enroll in specific courses eligible for UEC. Any students majoring in Actuarial Science are eligible to enroll in UEC approved courses, as long as the courses’ co-requisitesand/or pre-requisites are met.  \nAt the beginning of the semester, your instructor will distribute a link to an online UEC Authorization Form. You must complete the form and provide a copy of the confirmation email you receive to your instructor. This form authorizes the instructor to notify the SOA if you successfully meet the UEC mark for the course.  \nFollowing the end of the academic term, eligible students who meet or exceed the 85% required  \nmark in a UEC approved course will receive an email from the SOA to confirm their UEC eligibility for that course. The email will contain a link to the Candidate Application for UEC Credit, allowing the student to claim credit for an SOA exam.  \nCandidate applications for exam credit via UEC must be submitted within two years of completing all the required course(s) . Students pay full exam fee to claim the exam credit.  \nExam Registration Fees Reimbursement  \nThe Actuarial Science program will continue providing reimbursement of registration fees for students who pass actuarial exams via the regular, non-UEC exam pathway.  \nThe Actuarial Science program is workin","cbCaibnesuH6Wtvt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibnesuH6Wtvt","pdf",526059,"English","# UEC Program Overview\n## What Is University Earned Credit (UEC)?\n## UEC Eligibility Requirements and SOA Standards\n## SOA Exams Qualified for UEC at Purdue\n# UEC Course Pathways at Purdue\n## Exam FM\n## Exam FAM\n## Exam ALTAM\n## Exam ASTAM\n## Exam SRM Status and Timing\n## Course Codes and Semester Offerings\n# How to Receive SOA Exam Credits via UEC\n## Enrolling in Eligible UEC Courses\n## UEC Authorization Form and Instructor Notification\n## SOA Email Confirmation and Candidate Application\n## Exam Credit Claim Timing and Fees\n# Exam Registration Fee Reimbursement Policy\n# Frequently Asked Questions\n## What if I Do Not Meet the 85% UEC Mark?\n## How Are UEC Scores Calculated?\n## ALTAM and ASTAM Semester Offerings\n## Retroactive Exam Credit for Pre-Fall 2024 Courses","[{\"question\":\"What happens if a student does not meet the 85% UEC mark?\",\"answer\":\"The UEC program is designed to match SOA exam difficulty across pathways, but not meeting 85% can happen.
