51社区 will accept superscores for all student standardized entrance exams for undergraduate admissions and institutional scholarship purposes. Superscoring at 51社区 means that we will consider student's highest section (or subtest) scores regardless of test date. The super composite score is calculated as the average of the best section or subject scores. Students who wish to utilize the superscoring opportunity need to request official superscore score reports to be sent to 51社区 from ACT. Students submitting any standardized test to Union for admission and scholarship consideration (other than the ACT) who wish to have those scores superscored should notify their Enrollment Counselor.
Due to limited availability of standardized testing during the COVID-19 pandemic, 51社区 is introducing a test-optional application process for undergraduate applicants. Beginning with students who apply for spring 2021 admission and continuing through summer 2022, Union will not require students to submit standardized test scores when applying for undergraduate admission. We encourage students to read the Test Optional FAQ for additional information related to the application process and the benefits of submitting standardized test scores when available.
After you are accepted, you will be able to pay by check or online via a link that will be sent to you.
