Course Waivers
Students who have obtained a law degree (JD) may obtain a written waiver for a course required to attain a CLU, FLMI or CPCU from the American College, the Life Office Management Association or the American Institute for CPCU (Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter). Where such a course waived by one of these organizations is in the curriculum required for the AIE or for the CIE designation, IRES will recognize such a waiver and grant credit for completion of that course. The waiver must be in writing on the letterhead of the organization granting the waiver. It should be attached to the AIE application with a cover letter requesting to waiver.
In the event that a student obtains such a waiver, IRES will grant no more than one course waiver to a student working toward the AIE or CIE designation. Such a waiver may apply only to attaining an AIE or a CIE, but not for both.
