This past spring, the Augsburg faculty approved a pilot test-optional admissions policy, making submission of ACT or SAT test scores optional for fall 2019 first-year and transfer undergraduate student applicants, except in specific circumstances.

鈥淭丑别 aligns with Augsburg鈥檚 mission of intentional diversity and is expected to increase the university鈥檚 pool of completed applicants each year,鈥� said Nate Gorr, assistant vice president for innovation.

For a number of student populations, standardized test scores may not reflect an accurate indication of academic ability鈥攊ncluding, for example, people without access to test preparation courses and tutors, those who can鈥檛 afford to retake the test, people with learning and physical differences, and English language learners. This policy change also aligns with Augsburg鈥檚 holistic admissions process, which looks at quantitative metrics and beyond. The application-review process allows Augsburg to maintain the university鈥檚 academic standards and ensure Augsburg admits students with the capacity to succeed.
