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 Recent Florida legislation, Senate Bill 1676, repealed the use of the CLAST to measure the College-Level Academic Skills (CLAS) set and as a degree requirement for those undergraduates seeking associate in arts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.

Notifying and Registering Examinees

The Institutional Test Administrator (ITA) will provide all students with written notice of the examination. The notice will state the requirements for CLAST scores, the nature and purpose of the examination, the availability of special accommodations for examinees with disabilities, the date and time the test will be administered, and the responsibility of students to register for the test by the established deadline.

The ITA will give each student to be tested a room assignment and an admission ticket, which, when presented together with photo identification, will admit the student to the test room. No late, standby, or walk-in registrations are permitted.

Registration procedures must provide any disabled student the opportunity to request special test conditions or materials. The name of the person or office the student should contact at the institution to arrange for special considerations must be provided.
