State Legislation and Activities Impacting ASVAB CEP

How Can States Impact ASVAB CEP? • Legislation Activity: Activity in state legislatures--either pending or passed-calling for mandated use of ASVAB (e. g. , making it available to all students -TX) or sometimes authorizing use of ASVAB (e. g. , allowing it to serve as an alternate graduation credential -- MN). • Option to Meet Graduation Requirement: State uses scores on ASVAB (AFQT) as indicator of graduation fitness, either alone (CO) or in combination with other credentials (MS). • Military and Career Readiness Indicator: Can serve as an indicator of military and/or career readiness for state/federal reporting purposes. • Required or Recommended for Career Exploration: State requires or endorses the use of ASVAB or ASVAB CEP for career exploration purposes-typically on state education websites. • Mentions ASVAB CEP on State Website: State mentions ASVAB or ASVAB CEP as a tool for career exploration but does not require or endorse its use.
