USG Changes SAT/ACT Requirements for GA Colleges
Many schools in the University System of Georgia, such as Kennesaw State University, Georgia State University and Georgia Southern University, have suspended the SAT/ACT requirement due to the cancellation of the March, April and May tests. (This does NOT include University of Georgia or Georgia Tech, as they have already accepted their freshman class and already have a student wait list established.)
For a list of specific University System of Georgia schools and their plans related to the Coronavirus, please go to this link - https://www.usg.edu/coronavirus/institutions
Also, please remember – If you are applying to college while we are out of school, you must do the following in order to send your transcript:
1-Add the name of the college to your list of schools in your Naviance account.
