Requiring higher education institutions to accept Classic Learning Test

SB 695 requires West Virginia's public universities to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as a valid admission standard for students who graduated from private, nonpublic, or homeschool programs. It prevents institutions from demanding these students take additional tests like the ACT or SAT if they have acceptable CLT scores. The bill specifically prohibits requiring alternate testing solely because a student's secondary education was not state-accredited. This directly affects homeschooled and privately educated students seeking admission to state colleges. The policy change ensures CLT results are treated equally with other accepted tests like the ACT or SAT for admission purposes.
