What is the ACT?

The American College Testing (ACT) program is a national college entrance examination program. Florida Community College is an assessment site for ACT. ACT scores 17 or higher may be submitted for use in placement by students entering Florida Community College’s college credit programs. Scores must be less than two years old. ACT scores of 21 or higher, regardless of age, may be used to exempt the CLAST.

How do I get my ACT scores evaluated by Florida Community College?

You may have requested that your ACT scores be submitted to Florida Community College when you took the assessment at your high school or other site. These scores are sent by ACT to Florida Community College. Contact your preferred campus to see if your scores have been received and posted for use in placement.

You may have an original copy of your ACT score report in your personal records. You may bring your scores to any campus assessment and certification center for evaluation if they are less than two years old. Finally, you may request that your scores be sent to Florida Community College from ACT by contacting ACT at 319.337.1313 or visiting ACTs online ASR site.
