Candidate Membership

If you’re not yet a designated CPCU and meet the qualifications below, you’re eligible for a candidate membership. The candidate membership is offered from January through June of the current membership year and expires on December 31 of the year joined.

 

It includes many of the benefits of a full CPCU Society membership. As a candidate member, you can:

  • Join the Society and your local chapter at half price (additional meal charges at the discretion of the chapter)

  • Access all the Society’s interest groups, along with the educational and networking opportunities they provide

  • Obtain special group insurance rates for supplemental hospital benefits, excess major medical, personal accident, term life and long-term care insurance

  • Receive member discounts for symposia, publications, and other educational programs and resources

  • Keep apprised of member activities and Society events with CPCU eLink and the CPCU News

  • Access the members-only section of the CPCU Society’s website

Qualifications for Candidate Membership

To qualify for a candidate membership, you must:

  • Have passed at least four CPCU exams.

  • Be considered “active” by The Institutes. (Active is defined by The Institutes as a student who has had some contact with The Institutes over the past year, whether it was requesting information over the phone or taking an exam.)

  • Pay half the CPCU Society’s annual dues and respective half chapter dues.

  • Comply with the CPCU Code of Professional Ethics.

    (Please note: If you’re a renewing candidate member, you’ll automatically receive a renewal notice in October for the following year. Membership offers are mailed in November to all other eligible candidates based on information received from The Institutes.)
