ACT On-Campus Testing @SWOSU

Scroll all the way to the bottom of this screen to go directly to registration.

What is ACT On-Campus (Residual) Testing at SWOSU? It is an ACT test administration to students who were unable to test on a national test date. Scores are valid only at SWOSU and cannot be transferred by transcript or other means to any other institution or agency. Scores are reported only to SWOSU for admission, advising, course placement, and scholarship purposes.  Students who are 21 years or older are not required to take the ACT for admission to SWOSU, although some majors require ACT scores. For more information, please call the Assessment Center at 580-774-7084.

You are encouraged to take the National ACT. However, based on policy by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, if you are unable to take the National ACT on scheduled dates, the ACT On-Campus test may be taken.

• ACT requires a 60-day waiting period between any on-campus examinations (taken at SWOSU or at any other university).

Based on Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education POLICY:

• Effective November 1, 2011: You are encouraged to take the National ACT. However, if you are unable to take the National ACT on scheduled dates, the ACT On-Campus test can be taken. Since the same ACT On-Campus Exam is given for an entire year between November 1st and September 30th, if you take the ACT On-Campus more than once at SWOSU during this period, only the scores from the first time will count for Admission and Scholarships. (No ACT On-Campus tests are offered in the month of October.) All National ACT test scores (including all district and state funded ACT test scores) count for Admission and Scholarships.
