ACT and SAT scores are not required from U applicants for Fall 2021 admission under a two-year pilot program. A holistic approach considering other items, such as high school GPA and course rigor, will be used. The change comes in part due to a lack of access to testing centers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
