The FCLE and UT students.
the University of Tampa is independent (private), so Florida’s civic literacy requirement does not automatically apply to you. Here is when it still can.
Check before you spend a dollar
Florida’s civic literacy requirement is written for the Florida College System and the State University System. the University of Tampa is independent (private), so the state mandate does not bind UT students on its own.
It can still reach you. If you transfer into a Florida public university, if you are earning dual enrollment or transfer credit at one, or if a specific program has adopted the requirement, then it applies to you the same way it applies to everyone else, at the same 60 percent cut.
Ask your advisor before you buy anything. We would rather tell you that than sell a UT student prep they may not need.
Know where you stand in twenty minutes
The free practice test is 40 questions drawn evenly across the four competencies the FCLE tests, because on the real exam each of the four is worth exactly a quarter of your score. You get your result, the competency costing you the most points, and a written explanation for every question.
The boot camp itself is 20 dollars a month or 100 dollars for the year, with 1,200+ exam-aligned questions, lesson films, and a pass guarantee: pass the FCLE or get your money back.
The short answers
Do UT students have to pass the FCLE?
Not because of the state requirement. the University of Tampa is independent (private), and Florida's civic literacy requirement applies to the Florida College System and the State University System. It can still reach you if you transfer to a public institution, or if you are earning dual enrollment or transfer credit there.
What score would I need?
60 percent, set by State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.02413. It is the same wherever the requirement applies.
Should I prepare anyway?
Only if the requirement actually reaches you. Check with your advisor first. If it does, the free practice test will show you where you stand in about twenty minutes.
