The college learning effectiveness inventory (CLEI), a new assessment tool identifying personal variables important to college student success, was constructed using empirical approaches grounded in a conceptual model. The purpose of this study is the examination of validity and reliability of college learning effectiveness inventory, CLEI (Kim, 2008), in the Iranian students population. The questionnaire is administrated on the 400 students of Islamic Azad University of Dezful branch. The psychometric properties are determined by the appropriate statistical methods. The Alpha coefficients estimated in the four subscales between 0.68 and 0.79. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the model of six scales of the questionnaire have an acceptable fit to the data. In the basis of the calculated psychometrics properties, this instrument (college learning effectiveness inventory, CLEI) can be used by academic counselors and advisors for determining learning weaknesses and strengths in the students learning.
