Examinations:

You are required to submit results of either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT.

You must take tests early enough to allow submission of scores prior to February 15, 2026, the deadline for application completion. We urge you to plan your test calendar well in advance because you must register for each test about one month before the test date, and it generally takes four to six weeks after the test for scores to be reported.
