SAT or ACT Required

[Acam10]

Hi,
If planning to go to TESU does one have to take the ACT or SAT if they are transferring in 117 credits and only need the Capstone class to graduate?

No ACT or SAT required. Depending on your age/where you credits are from, you MAY have to take the Accuplacer

Ok. If 90 credits from study.com and the rest from a Community College would you think my child would have to take the accuplacer for just the Capstone class? Age would be 18.

From the link:

Admission Waiver:
Applicants (degree seeking and nonmatriculated) who are 18-20 years and who do not meet the military criteria for admission may apply for special consideration by:

If you possess a high school degree or GED equivalent, and have earned a minimum of 24 credits from a regionally accredited college/university with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
Complete the Age Waiver Petition Request Form
Applicants who have earned less than 24 credits or have earned their credits from an approved University course provider who is not regionally accredited must take the Accuplacer, Next Generation examination within 30 days of applying and achieve scores of:

Reading Comprehension: 236 or higher
Sentence Skills: 241 or higher
Arithmetic: 216 or higher

---

So if the student is 18 and graduated high school, and has 24 or more credits from CC, they should be good to go on the waiver. If less than 24 credits are from CC, then yes, they would have to take the accuplacer. Also note that there is no longer a waiver for the corner Stone so they would have to do that plus the capstone.

Thanks. This is exactly what I was trying to find! That is wonderful news.

My #3 son applied a few months back after turning 18 but not yet a high school graduate. He didn't have to take a test of any kind. He did have over 60 credits though.
