Sep 14, 2026

Policy for Clarkson admissions on the acceptance of self-reported, unofficial SAT and ACT scores from U.S. high school students.

Standardized testing requirements differ for students attending high school outside the U.S., and TOEFL/IELTS must be official. For review, schools should not superscore and must include section scores and test date; Clarkson may withdraw admission if unofficial and official results conflict, and official scores are required after enrollment.
