To be admitted to the Actuarial Studies Track of the Certicate Program, you must have completed Calculus I, II, and III with a grade of B+ or better in each (*). You must also earn a C- or better in every required course in order to finish the certificate.
If you have been given credit for AP exams in calculus, you must have scored 4 or better on the BC test, or have gotten a 5 on the AB test. If you have transfer credit in calculus, you must have gotten a B+ or better in each transferred course. If you are currently taking your third semester of calculus, you can be admitted provisionally to the Actuarial Studies Track with a note from your instructor stating that you are currently doing B+ or better work. Provisional admittance will make it easier to enroll for some courses, but you will dropped from the Actuarial Studies track if you do not actually earn a B+ or better in the course.
(*) A student may also be admitted by passing the first examination of the Society of Actuaries. Alternatively, if a student has a GPA of 3.0 or greater in Calculus I, II, and III, then they can earn admission by getting a grade of A- or better in linear algebra or mathematical probability.
