For several years The American College has been calling attention to the issue of "rogue designations" - those that result from weekend seminars or simplified courses without the rigorous studying that is required to gain full mastery of a particular topic. While some of these programs may provide valuable education, they should not be confused with in-depth designations and certificates such as those supported by The American College and other accredited institutions. State regulators and the U.S. Senate have been addressing this important issue, and The American College continues to provide support and counsel in this process. The CASL® retirement coaching designation is approved for use in every jurisdiction.

Many states have adopted versions of either the NASAA or NAIC model rules on senior designations. The American College's CASL® designation meets the requirements in all of those states. Certain states have special requirements as outlined below. CASL® may also be used in each of these states and in every jurisdiction in the United States.
