Please note, this option will only be extended to students who did not have the opportunity to the ACT/SAT/ACCUPLACER due to COVID-19. Below are a few answers to common concerns/questions:
- What if my student currently has SAT/ACCUPLACER/ACT scores on file with GSU but does not met the minimum requirements; will they be admitted?
Answer: No, students with test scores already on file with GSU will be evaluated based on SAT/ACT/ACCUPLACER and HS GPA.
- My student was denied due to low test scores. Can they be considered?
Answer: Unfortunately, no. Students who were already denied will not be re-evaluated. This exception is extended only to students who did not have the opportunity to test.
