a

The Academic Advising Center advises Actuarial Science Interest students on prerequisite course planning. Students are advised for success, based on academic strength, not necessarily for a four year plan. Prerequisites may take more than one and a half years to complete.

b

Enrollment in math courses requires completion of a placement exam.

c

Fulfills a major requirement and may fulfill a GE requirement.

d

Students who have completed four years of a single language in high school have satisfied the GE CLAS Core World Languages requirement. Enrollment in world languages courses requires a placement exam, unless enrolling in a first-semester-level course.

e

GE CLAS Core courses may be completed in any order unless used as a prerequisite for another course. Students should consult with an advisor about the best sequencing of courses.

f

Typically this course is offered in fall semesters only. Check MyUI for course availability since offerings are subject to change.

g

Ordinarily, students apply for admission to the actuarial science major in the fall semester of their sophomore year, after they have taken MATH:3770 or MATH:2850, and STAT:3100. Students should apply no later than the end of the spring semester of their junior year. For further details and application instructions, see your advisor and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science website.

h

Typically this course is offered in spring semesters only. Check MyUI for course availability since offerings are subject to change.

i

Restricted to Actuarial Science Majors. For further details and application instructions, see your advisor and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science website.

j

This course is a recommended elective, not a requirement. Students may choose another elective. Prerequisites may apply.

k

This course may count for VEE credit.

l

Students may use elective courses to earn credit towards the total s.h. required for graduation or to complete a double major, minors, or certificates.

m

Students may choose to complete ACTS:6480 and ACTS:6580 (both courses) instead of ACTS:4280, except honors students, who must complete all three courses.

n

Please see Academic Calendar, Office of the Registrar website for current degree application deadlines. Students should apply for a degree for the session in which all requirements will be met. For any questions on appropriate timing, contact your academic advisor. For more information visit http://commencement.uiowa.edu/. If applicable see the "Early and Late Participation" page (e.g. walk in graduation ceremony in May, degree conferral in August).
