In lieu of the written tests, waivers may be granted under the following conditions: candidates must have completed two or more years of course work at an institution of higher learning or recognized vocational school, which is accreditated by AACSB, within the past five years and achieved a grade of “C” or better in the specific course(s) set forth for individual requirements stated elsewhere in this booklet. You may check to see if your university is AACSB by referring to this list.

In all cases, the burden of proof is upon the applicant and must include a letter describing why the waiver is warranted, college transcripts identifying which courses are being applied to each waiver, copies of certificates with course title, instructor, content/text, and table of contents, college catalogs, or other documentary evidence containing course descriptions.

Application should be made to the Executive Office of AST&L® using the CTL Exam Registration /Waiver form. The required fee must be paid with the application before review of each waiver will be considered.
