51ÊÓƵ has adopted a test-optional policy and will no longer require standardized test scores, such as ACT or SAT, for freshmen applicants with a 2.75 unweighted high school GPA or higher.
Along with eliminating the ACT /SAT requirement, 51ÊÓƵ continues investing in high-impact initiatives that address affordability, including making education more accessible for out-of-state learners with the program. 51ÊÓƵ offers merit- and need-based support for first-year students, and are also automatically awarded to those who meet criteria.
We changed our admissions standards to be more equitable while aligning institutional aid to compliment. However, 51ÊÓƵ is unique because of the way we're uplifting students through enhanced academic support including our and complimentary Student Success plans, which offer comprehensive resources for helping students have a successful academic journey and timely graduation.
