What is the CLAST test?
The Florida State Board of Education implemented the College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) as a means of ensuring that students have developed college-level communication and computation skills generally associated with successful performance and progression toward the baccalaureate level. Students must meet the CLAST requirement through satisfactory scores on the CLAST test or by satisfying the CLAST alternative before the Associate in Arts degree will be awarded.
The College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) is designed to ensure that students have achieved certain math, English language, essay and reading skills. All students seeking an Associate of Arts or Baccalaureate degree from UWF are required by the State of Florida to satisfy the CLAST requirement. Information regarding preparation and registration for the CLAST exam may be obtained in the Testing office at (850) 474-2384. Questions regarding alternative means for meeting the CLAST requirement may be answered by the Registrar’s office at (850) 474-2244. The CLAST is offered statewide once per semester. Students must register in advance at the Student Affairs office located in building 21 room 292.
