College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)

All Florida community college students seeking an Associate of Arts or Bachelors degree must satisfy the CLAST requirement before their degree is awarded. The CLAST measures college-level communications and math skills and is part of the state’s overall effort to ensure students have acquired the skills expected in those areas.

In accordance with Rule 6A-10.0311, F.A.C., Section 1008.29, F.S., students may not need to take the CLAST.  Students will qualify for an exemption to the CLAST if they meet one of the conditions below.
