CAS PCPA Project Course: Deadlines & Quiz Timing

The CAS PCPA is a project + quiz course offered through the platform on behalf of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS). It is distinct from the CAS DISC exam process — see CAS DISC Exam Registration & Activation for the standard CAS DISC flow.

What’s in the Course

• A project submission with a stated deadline (the date all candidate work is due).
• An associated quiz that must be completed within the same submission window.
• An exam window — typically several weeks long — during which both the project and quiz must be finished.

Known Deadline Issue (December 2025 Sitting)

In the December 2025 sitting, several candidates reported the quiz portion closing at 12:00 AM on the listed end date, effectively closing 24 hours earlier than the stated 11:59 PM end-of-day deadline. If you encounter this:

1. Take screenshots immediately of the deadline as displayed and any error message you see when the quiz closes.
2. Contact Customer Success right away — do not wait. The earlier we hear, the more options we have.
3. Provide:
   • Your full name and CAS Master ID (and Student ID if known)
   • The course name (e.g., “PCPA — December 2025”)
   • Screenshots of the deadline and the quiz-closed error
   • The time you attempted to submit
4. Customer Success will review your case and follow up with next steps.

Standard Submission Reminders

• Treat the earliest of any displayed deadlines as your real cutoff. If the project deadline is 11:59 PM and the quiz says 12:00 AM, finish both the day before to avoid a midnight ambiguity.
• Submit work in advance whenever possible. Last-minute submissions are most exposed to platform timing issues.
• Keep copies of your project and quiz answers locally.
