College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)

 Assessment Home | CLAST Home

Important News

Effective July 1, 2009, the College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) will no longer be administered. Recent Florida legislation, Senate Bill 1676, repealed the use of the CLAST to measure the College-Level Academic Skills (CLAS) set and as a degree requirement for those undergraduates seeking associate in arts (AA), bachelor of arts (BA), or bachelor of science (BS) degree in Florida’s public colleges and universities.

All scores earned on the CLAST prior to July 1, 2009, will still be valid.

Students who still need to meet CLAS requirements after July 1, 2009, will still have opportunities other than the CLAST exam to do so. Please check your college’s or university’s Web site for more information on how to meet the CLAS requirements.

Eligibility to Take the CLAST

Undergraduate students who are seeking either an associate in arts (A.A.) or a baccalaureate degree and who have completed 18 credit hours are eligible to participate in CLAST administrations. In all cases, registration of students for the CLAST must be made at the institution that needs the scores.

An examinee may retake an examination no sooner than the thirty-first (31st) day after the previous administration date, regardless of whether the previous administration was a regular administration, a special administration, or a computer-adaptive administration. If an examinee does take a test before the thirty-first (31st) day, the score will be invalidated, and no score report will be mailed. Example: If an examinee fails a test taken on April 30, that examinee may not take that particular test again until May 31.
