USA will be offering spring, summer, and fall 2022 applicants a test-optional path for admission to USA. Students who take this route could be asked to supply additional materials, which include an essay and letter of recommendation.
Students who choose the test optional track will also be eligible for scholarships. Scholarships for test-optional students will be awarded based on strength of curriculum, grades, and a variety of other factors. Students are able to select test-optional on their applications. We do recommend that students with ACT 21 or better and/or SAT 1060 or better submit their scores for best scholarship consideration.
Request that your official high school transcript be sent to the University of South Alabama office of admissions.
