St. Joseph's University has suspended our standardized testing admissions requirement for both the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 academic years. For first-year applicants for Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 admissions, the submission of the SAT and ACT will be optional. Please note, those students who are homeschooled will be required to submit test scores.
For high school rising seniors about to enter the college admissions process, we realize that academic opportunities are evolving for many students and those who wish to submit their test scores and/or feel their scores are a strong reflection of their academic ability, will be encouraged to do so.
We hope that the suspension of required standardized tests will alleviate some of the stress for students and help them gain greater confidence and flexibility as they navigate the college admissions process.
