Test policy

Test required Applicants must send an SAT or ACT score.

All first-year applicants must submit results from at least one SAT and/or ACT to be considered; this applies to international applicants as well (who must also demonstrate English proficiency under University System of Georgia rules). CLT may be self-reported but does not replace the requirement. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
