Self-Reporting Your ACT or SAT Scores

Carroll College accepts self-reported ACT and/or SAT scores for admission consideration. When self-reporting test scores on your application, please indicate your scores by test date. Please do not superscore. Students who enroll at Carroll College will be required to submit official score reports prior to registration.

We are test-optional, so you are not required to submit ACT or SAT test scores, with the following exceptions:

Note:

Athletic recruits are not required to submit test scores when they apply. But because the NAIA requires test scores to determine eligibility, athletes will need to submit official test scores if they choose to attend Carroll.

Special Instructions for Nursing Applicants

If you are interested in the Nursing program, select "Nursing" in the "academic interest" field on your application. Accelerated Nursing students should use the Carroll Online Application.
