Important CLAST Update

Requirements for earning an Associate of Arts or Bachelor Degree on or after July 1, 2009: 
The College-Level Academic Skills (CLAS) requirement must be satisfied in order to be awarded an Associate of Arts or Bachelor degree.  Effective July 1, 2009, CLAST will no longer be an available means to satisfy the requirement.   The CLAS requirement can be satisfied by meeting the current CLAST exemption requirements.

In order to be awarded an Associate of Arts or Bachelor Degree on or after July 1, 2009, students will:

*

*
Need to meet one of the following requirements in addition to successfully fulfilling other current degree requirements in place:
 
1.
