Another university ends SAT/ACT requirement for undergrad admissions

California State University (CSU) joined a list of prominent U.S. colleges to end the SAT and ACT requirement for undergraduate admissions.

The CSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously in March 2022 to end the use of standardized tests. 

“This decision aligns with the California State University's continued efforts to level the playing field and provide greater access to a high-quality college degree for students from all backgrounds," said Acting Chancellor Steve Relyea, in a CSU news statement.

“In essence, we are eliminating our reliance on a high-stress, high-stakes test that has shown negligible benefit and providing our applicants with greater opportunities to demonstrate their drive, talents and potential for college success."
