The American College Testing program (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is required of some entering freshmen depending on high school cumulative GPA. Scores from these instruments are used for admission to the college and academic advising. On a “need-to-know” basis, faculty should contact the Associate Dean of Academic Records to secure needed information from these tests, including educational and vocational plans, special educational needs and interests, advanced placement in high school, and high school extracurricular activities and college extracurricular plans.
