Test policy

Test required Applicants must send an SAT or ACT score.

FSU says at least one SAT, ACT or CLT score must be submitted before the materials deadline (self-reported via the Admissions Portal, not the Common App), reflecting Florida Board of Governors regulation 6.002; page names summer/fall entry without a year. International applicants are not eligible for Early Decision and should apply Regular Decision. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
