CLAST Advising - TL Hold
You have received the following e-mail:
Dear student, Our records indicate you have not satisfied all portions of the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) and have earned 36 or more hours of upper level credit. This has resulted in a TL CLAST hold on your registration. As you may know, Florida Law (F.S. 229.053) and the University require all students to satisfy all portions of the CLAST examination BEFORE earning 36 upper level hours (3000 and 4000 level courses). If you have not met the CLAST requirement by: 1) passing the CLAST, 2) earning a 2.5 GPA in specific courses, or 3) through high enough SAT or ACT scores, your enrollment will be restricted to freshman and sophomore (1000 and 2000) level classes. In other words, you are only allowed to earn 36 hours of upper level hours without passing or satisfying all portions of the CLAST examination. If you are currently enrolled in a course that will satisfy CLAST exemption criteria, your hold will be removed after grades have been posted and you have successfully completed the course by earning the necessary grade. Additionally, you may want to repeat the CLAST examination.
So, if you are told by Oasis that your enrollment is limited to freshman and sophomore classes, this is why. Once you have earned 36 hours of upper level credit, you must pass or exempt ALL portions of the CLAST. If you do not, you will be limited to taking only 1000 and 2000 level classes at the University. For further information, you must contact your college CLAST coordinator. Please visit http://www.ugs.usf.edu/student/clast/index.htm to contact your coordinator and determine how to satisfy the CLAST graduation requirement.
For further information, you must contact your college CLAST advisor. She or he will tell you how to satisfy the CLAST graduation requirement.
First, determine which college houses your major:
