*To assist in the proper placement of students in the areas of English, mathematics, science and social studies, all entering undergraduate international students must take the ACT exam upon arrival unless valid ACT or SAT scores are on file. Entering transfer students with fewer than 24 semester hours of credit completed will be asked to take the ACT exam for the same reasons.

**No TOEFL or IELTS score report is required if a student has studied at a high school of any of the following English-speaking countries for a year and has received a graduation diploma: the United States, Australia, Canada (except for French provinces), Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
