College Entrance Testing
Domestic First-Year Students
ACT and SAT scores are optional for students applying to the university through spring 2026, which means most domestic, first-year students will not be required to provide an ACT or SAT test score for admission or scholarship consideration.
Applications without test scores are evaluated using criteria including GPA, academic rigor, application essays, co-curricular and extracurricular activities, talent, and background, among others.

Admitted students who provided unofficial test scores for admission or scholarship consideration will be required to provide official scores from the testing agency after they confirm their enrollment.

International Students
International students are not required to provide an ACT or SAT score, but they are required to meet English language proficiency requirements. ACT or SAT tests may be used to satisfy that requirement. Learn more about English language proficiency requirements.
Transfer Students
Because of limited test availability during the COVID-19 pandemic, transfer students who are applying through spring 2026 are not required to provide an ACT or SAT test score for admission. This is a temporary suspension of a policy that required test scores unless transfer students have been out of high school for five or more years or have completed at least 20 graded semester hours of college-level coursework after high school graduation.
