This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require higher education institutions to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as a valid assessment for admission. Specifically, it modifies the existing law to include the CLT alongside other recognized tests such as the ACT and SAT, ensuring that students who have taken the CLT and achieved acceptable results are not subjected to additional testing requirements for admission.

Additionally, the bill reinforces the nondiscrimination policy in the admission process by stating that individuals with diplomas from private, nonpublic, or home schooling backgrounds cannot be denied admission solely based on the accreditation status of their secondary education. This change aims to enhance access to higher education for a broader range of students, promoting inclusivity and recognizing diverse educational pathways.
