FAST FACTS:

• The University of California no longer considers SAT or ACT scores when making admissions decisions or awarding scholarships. Test scores submitted as part of the application may be used as an alternate method of fulfilling minimum requirements for eligibility or for course placement after matriculation at UC.

• The California State University (CSU) no longer uses ACT or SAT examinations in determining admission eligibility for all CSU campuses. If accepted to a CSU campus, ACT or SAT scores can be used as one of the measures to place students in the proper mathematics and written communication courses.

• Neither the SAT nor the ACT is required for admission to CA Community Colleges.

• Private and out-of-state universities may require testing for admission.  Please visit the specific school site for more information.
