– A California high school graduate (or a resident of California for tuition purposes) needs a minimum index of 2900 using the SAT I or 694 using the ACT.
– Non residents of CA must have a minimum index of 3502 using the SAT or 842 using the ACT
– If the grade point averages 3.0 or above (3.61 for nonresidents), student are exempt from submitting test scores. However, students are urged to take the SAT or ACT since all campuses use test results for advising and placement purposes.
