Test policy

Test blind Scores aren't considered, even if sent.

The CSU does not use SAT or ACT for admission; scores sent after an offer may be used for placement only and are not considered in the admission decision (applies to Fall 2027 first-year applicants). International applicants may use SAT EBRW 550+ or ACT English 22+ to meet the English requirement. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
