CAS DISC Exam Registration & Activation

CAS DISC exams follow a different registration process than standard Institutes designation exams. You cannot self-register online — you’ll need to contact Customer Success to activate your exam. Exam activation is included in your package purchase — there is no separate fee to activate.

How CAS DISC Registration Works

CAS DISC exam activation requires contacting Customer Success. Here’s the process:

1. Purchase your CAS DISC course on TheInstitutes.org. The exam is included in the package — no separate exam purchase is needed.

2. Complete your coursework — exam activation is available at any point, though most students finish the course before activating.

3. Contact Customer Success to activate your exam. Include all of the following in your message — missing information will delay activation:

   Full name:
   Exam name: CAS DISC [IA / RM / DA]
   CAS Customer Number:
   Date of birth (month/day/year):
   Testing window:

   Tip: Log in at casact.org to find your CAS Customer Number — it’s a 13-character combination of letters and numbers listed in your account profile.

4. Customer Success will activate the exam in your account at no charge.

5. Once activated, launch the exam from My Courses & Exams — you can test anytime during your registered window.

Transfers and Deferrals

Not yet activated your exam? If you haven’t contacted Customer Success to activate your exam yet, there is no fee to choose a different testing window — just contact Customer Success with your preferred window when you’re ready.

Already activated for a specific window? If your exam is already active and you need to move to a different testing window, the standard exam transfer fee applies. Transfers can be completed online or by contacting Customer Success.

What CAS Handles vs. The Institutes

CAS PCPA Project Course

The CAS PCPA Project Course is a different product from the CAS DISC exam — it’s a project + quiz course rather than a sit-down exam, and it has its own deadline rules. If you’re enrolled in PCPA (e.g., the December 2025 sitting), see CAS PCPA Project Course: Deadlines & Quiz Timing — especially if your quiz appears to close earlier than the stated deadline.
