If I Have Not Taken the CLAST?

Students may be admitted without completing the College Level Academic Skills Test. However, without the CLAST completed, you are not awarded the A.A.; privileges provided by the A.A. are not granted, (e.g., grade forgiveness, Gordon Rule, and the completion of general education requirements).

If you have not met the CLAST requirement, you must take the exam in your first term of enrollment; you must satisfy all four parts of the CLAST by the time you have completed 36 hours of upperdivision course work. UCF accepts the CLAST alternatives and waivers awarded by Florida public community colleges and universities.

Admission requirements have changed for students entering the College of Education. The General Knowledge Test (GKT) of the Florida Teacher Certification Examination (FTCE) may now be used as both an admission and graduation requirement for stateapproved teacher preparation programs. The CLAST will continue to be an admission option for students, but does not satisfy graduation requirements.
