Test policy

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

UC Riverside will not consider SAT or ACT scores in admission decisions or scholarship awards (applies to the current fall 2027 UC application); scores may only satisfy minimum eligibility or course placement. Same policy stated on the international page. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
