SAT/ACT

University of California (UC) and California State Universiy (CSU) will no longer be considering the standardized test requirement (ACT/SAT) in the admissions process for all California high school seniors applying to UC or CSU. 

Current Seniors have the option of submitting SAT/ACT scores, but will not be penalized in the admissions review process for not submitting SAT/ACT scores.

For students who choose to complete the test(s) and submit scores, UC Campuses can use test scores to determine student course placement (what level of college Math and English is appropriate for the student)
