Do I need to complete tests such as the SAT or ACT in order to apply to a university? Follow
SAT and ACT for University Applications
For the CSU and UC systems, if you are transferring as an upper-division student (will have completed at least 60 transferable units), you will not be required to take the SAT or ACT exams. If you are planning to transfer as a lower-division student, you will need to show that you were eligible for the university system as a high school student. In these cases you may be required to demonstrate SAT and/or ACT scores. Requirements for Private/Independent and Out of State universities vary from campus to campus; please check with the university’s admissions office or consult a Mission College counselor. Please note that many CSU's and UC's may not accept lower-division transfer students. Please check with individual campuses or visit CSU Mentor for CSUs, and University of California Pathways for UCs.
