What is CLAST?
CLAST stands for College Level Academic Skills Test. This is a state-mandated test of fundamental mathematical, language and writing skills. It is normally administered toward the end of a student’s sophomore year. A student must pass three out of four sections prior to admission to the upper division (i.e. 60 semester hours). Students who transfer with 60 or more hours will be permitted to register for ONE SEMESTER ONLY without CLAST requirements satisfied. If such students do not pass at least 3 out of 4 sections during their first semester, they will NOT be permitted to register for future semesters. Students may only complete up to 96 semester hours without successfully completing all four sections of the CLAST. Students in this category will NOT BE PERMITTED TO REGISTER without completing all four sections of the CLAST. CLAST HOLD questions should be directed to the Office of Testing and Evaluation, (561) 297-3160. To register to take the CLAST, contact Testing at (561) 297- 3160.
