The ACT Residual test is an acceptable alternative for students who plan to attend the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and who were unable to take the SAT or ACT on a nationally scheduled test date. The scores from these tests are acceptable for admission at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»D only and are not available to other institutions.
Retesting Restrictions
Residual testing is available to students who are in the process of applying to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»D. A student must wait a minimum of 60 days to retake the ACT Residual. This 60-day time limit only applies to the ACT Residual test, not national test dates. If the 60-day time limit is violated the retest scores will be canceled automatically, and no refund will be made for canceled retests.
Testing Information
Score reports will only be sent to the student and the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»D. Official score reports will not be generated by ACT, and no additional score reports will be generated to report scores to any other college.
