Test policy

Test required Applicants must send an SAT or ACT score.

UM requires SAT or ACT scores of first-year applicants, a policy in effect since Fall 2026 applicants (self-reported by the plan's final credentials deadline). Exceptions (scores optional): first-year applicants graduating from a high school outside the United States, Frost performance programs, BFA Art/Theatre Arts, and Architecture (portfolio); international applicants must still meet the English proficiency requirement. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
