Civic Literacy Workshops

FAU Student Smiling

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.
