Exam Reimbursement

Congratulations on passing your exam! If you are a dues-paying member of SAM and have declared Actuarial Mathematics as your major, please see the following guidelines and complete this reimbursement form.

To receive exam fee reimbursement, you will need to submit the following:

  • Proof of Passing — If you took a computer-based exam (CBT), you should be able to print a Provisional Pass Certificate immediately after the exam if you pass. This certificate is sufficient documentation; you do not need to wait for the official numerical (6 - 10) grade report.
  • Proof of Exam Fee Payment — When you register for an exam, the Society of Actuaries (SOA) sends you "Order Confirmation". This document has 2 pages. The simplest thing to do is to create a pdf document of this 2-page confirmation letter. The second page has all the info that we need to verify the method of payment. Another alternative is to create a pdf document of just the 2nd page of the confirmation letter. Many of you submit only a portion of the second page. The Math Department and Office of Finance want to see the entire 2nd page, especially the method of payment (mostly by credit card).
