Standardized test scores & college placement
ACT, SAT, CLT, TSIA2, and ACCUPLACER scores are not required for general admission, except for applicants for whom standardized testing is specifically required, including homeschool applicants.
Students are strongly encouraged to submit available scores because qualifying scores may be used for placement into college-level English and mathematics.
Students who do not submit qualifying scores demonstrating college readiness will be placed into the appropriate developmental/remedial English and/or mathematics coursework.
dual credit students
Students who earned college credit while in high school are still considered first-time freshman applicants.
An official college transcript must be submitted directly from every college or university through which dual-credit coursework was earned, even if those courses also appear on the high school transcript.
