  3. Submit Test Scores

    We will continue to be test-optional for the 2027-28 year! An SAT or ACT test will not be required to complete your application. All applicants who submit a high school transcript will receive full consideration for admission and scholarships pending no other requirements are set by the academic department (i.e. musical audition, TEAS score for ASN applicants, SAT/ACT for accelerated 3+2 Physicians Assistant program applicants, etc.)

    Applicants will not be penalized or otherwise disadvantaged if they do not submit and standardized test score with their admissions application. When reviewing applications for competitive programs, like nursing, we will consider the rigor of the courses taken, including AP, honors, and dual enrollment course work.

    Earning credits in high school?

    Once the course ends, you will need to submit an official transcript from the community college or university where you earned the credit.

    If you have earned college credit through another university, community college, earned IB credits, or scored a 3 or higher on any AP exam, or passed the NOCTI Exam, you will need to submit official transcripts to our office in order to be awarded credit.

    In order to be considered official, the transcript must come directly from the university, CollegeBoard, or Testing Center. *Students who completed college credits through 黑料不打烊's Early College program do not need to request a transcript be sent.
