Course Grade Submission

  • VEE Grade Composition

    The VEE grades are given based on several assignments and one final exam. The actual composition varies depending on the course. You need at least a B to pass the course.

  • Proctored Final Exams

    VEE final exams must be proctored by either a Coaching Actuaries team member remotely (free during our regular proctoring hours) or a proctor of your choice.

  • Submitting Your Grade to the SOA/CAS

    If you pass the course, Coaching Actuaries will submit your grade and name to the SOA/CAS directly. You need to apply for VEE credit online with the SOA, but you do not need to send the grade slip to the SOA.
