Q: How will Husson University know if I want my test scores included as part of my application for admission?
A: On the Husson University Common Application you’ll find a question asking for your selection of your “preferred testing plan.” The question states:

Husson does not require submission of SAT or ACT scores to apply for admission. You can submit your scores if you choose to. Do you plan to submit your SAT/ACT scores?

If you will be submitting your test scores select:

• Yes, I would like my SAT/ACT scores to be considered as part of my application. I understand that my application will not be reviewed until official test scores are received.

If you don’t plan to submit your test scores and you are not applying to nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy programs or are not a homeschool student please select the following answer:

• No, I do not want my SAT/ACT scores to be considered as part of my application.

Q: If I chose not to share my standardized test scores are there additional requirements?
A: There are no additional admission requirements if you choose not to submit test scores.

Q: What if my test scores have already been sent to Husson?
A: If your answer to the preferred testing plan question was that you do not wish to have your test scores included, they will not be considered as part of your application review.

Q: Can I change my mind after I submit my application?
A: You cannot change whether you are applying test-optional or submitting your standardized test scores once your application is submitted. 

Q: How do I know if I should submit my test scores?
A: The choice of whether to submit your standardized test scores is yours. Consider the following when making your decision:

• Do the test scores accurately reflect my academic abilities?
• Does my high school GPA accurately reflect my academic abilities?
• How do I feel about the test scores?

Husson's rolling admission program allows applications to be reviewed as soon as they are complete. Applications are accepted for consideration for either the September or January semester. There is a $40 application fee.

All applicants should have copies of their transcripts sent to the Admissions Office as soon as possible after applying for admission. Admission is competitive and applicants to the first year of college study are admitted on the strength of their secondary school curriculum, grade-point average, class rank and counselor recommendations.
