Hello, and welcome to the ASNA 2024/2025 Centralized Application Process (CAP)!

Founded in 1989, the Actuarial Students’ National Association (ASNA) has served over a dozen universities since its inception and offered numerous professional development opportunities to the Canadian actuarial community.
