Currently, over 250 public and private institutions of higher education in the United States accept CLT scores in fulfillment of admission criteria; in our state, the web site for Louisiana Christian University indicates that the CLT is accepted as a credential for admission. The CLTis composed of three sections: Verbal Reasoning, Grammar and Writing, and Quantitative Reasoning, each containing 40 questions plus an optional essay. It is administered entirely online and, at two hours, is significantly shorter than both the SAT and ACT.  \nAs per Act 347 of the 2025 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature,","cbCaioWkN9dC3xAG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioWkN9dC3xAG","pdf",611516,23,"English","# Agenda Academic and Student Affairs\n## Consent Agenda\n### Routine Staff Approvals\n### Classic Learning Test (CLT) Policy Statement\n### AY 2024–2025 Governor's Military and Veteran-Friendly Campus Program – Interim Report\n## Academic Programs\n## Other Business","[{\"question\":\"What meeting materials are included for August 20, 2025?\",\"answer\":\"The materials include the agenda for Academic and Student Affairs, a consent agenda with routine staff approvals, and academic program updates, along with other required agenda sections such as call to order and adjournment.\"},{\"question\":\"Which routine academic requests were approved under Agenda Item III.A?\",\"answer\":\"Approved requests include offering the MS in Computer Science 100% online, approving a CAS in Paraprofessional Education, changing CIP codes for an MS in Kinesiology, renaming several bachelor programs to better match content, and terminating a low-enrollment BS in Chemistry.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the CLT policy change for TOPS eligibility starting Fall 2025?\",\"answer\":\"Beginning in Fall 2025, the CLT can be submitted for the examination component of eligibility for TOPS awards, with minimum CLT score thresholds set for in-state versus out-of-state or out-of-country applicants as outlined in the policy statement.\"}]","05-ASA-August-20-2025-Board-Materials - Routine Academic Requests & Staff Approvals | PDF",58]
