Test-Optional Admissions Policy

SUNY has temporarily suspended SAT/ACT testing requirements for students applying for admission to a SUNY bachelor's degree-granting college. You may now decide whether or not to include your scores for admission consideration at each college to which you apply.

If you believe your scores are an accurate representation of your ability, SUNY colleges can consider them along with all other materials in your application file. If you think your scores do not represent your abilities, SUNY colleges can holistically evaluate your application without considering them. Please consult your school counselor or advisor if you are unsure about what to do.

SUNY °®¶¹´«Ã½ÊÓƵ will maintain its longstanding commitment to holistic review of student applicants that includes grades, program of study, exam scores (including Regents, AP, IB, dual-enrollment college credits), academic achievements, non-academic achievements, and other activities that allow for the evaluation of the potential success of a candidate for admission.

For those prospective applicants who have already taken or will take the SAT/ACT and wish to submit scores, SUNY °®¶¹´«Ã½ÊÓƵ will include those official scores as part of their holistic review.

Please note: When you apply to SUNY °®¶¹´«Ã½ÊÓƵ, you will be asked if you wish for your standardized test scores to be considered as a part of your admissions review. Upon making this selection, this will determine how your application will be reviewed.

The Office of Admissions will remain flexible and transparent through this process. As such, we will allow for students to request a change if test scores should be evaluated as part of the application review process if the selection is made in error upon submission of the application. Please note that once a final admissions decision has been rendered a change to the consideration of testing cannot be made.

Freshman applicants can take the or . We look at the combined score of evidence-based reading and mathematics sections on the SAT.

Supplemental Application/Essay

Students must complete the essay portion of either application to be considered for admission.

Letter of Recommendation

You must submit one letter of recommendation. Please send a letter from an academic source, a coach, or another mentor.

Submit your letters of recommendation through SUNY Campus Connect, Naviance, or by mail. Mailed letters must be sent from your high school.
