FAU Student Smiling

All Florida college students must satisfy a civic literacy requirement in order to graduate. It is strongly recommended that this be completed during the first-year at FAU. Speak with your academic advisor to see the specific requirements for YOU based on your college enrollment dates. 

For students who enrolled at the university  before summer/fall 2024,  you can complete the Florida Civic Literacy Test (FCLT). You may have an additional course completion requirement in order to satisfy the state-mandated graduation requirement. See your advisor for more details.
