Arrange
for official ACT or SAT scores to be sent to the University early
in the senior year of high school. Test scores from the junior year
are acceptable, and the submission of multiple test scores is permissible.
The highest composite ACT or SAT (verbal plus math) result is used
to determine admissibility. Test results must be forwarded directly
from the testing service to SFA. Be sure to designate Stephen F.
Austin State University in the ACT or SAT application (the SFA school
code is 4188 for ACT and 6682 for SAT).

Arrange
for an official high school transcript to be sent to the SFA Admissions
Office following graduation. This copy must include the final class
rank and the date of graduation. All offers of admission are provisional
and subject to cancellation unless this final transcript is received.
An incomplete high school transcript is also required from applicants
who do not satisfy the minimum SAT or ACT requirements. This transcript
must indicate the applicant's numerical class rank at the conclusion
of the junior year or first semester of the senior year.
-
Arrange
for official transcripts from all post-secondary educational institutions
attended to be forwarded to the Office of Admissions regardless
of whether transcript credit was earned, or is desired. Admission
policies for students not classified as First-Semester Freshman,
including International Students, may be found in the General
Bulletin or in the on-line SFA
