Standard Test Requirement

Standard Test Requirement

On May 23, 2024, the UNC Board of Governors approved Policy 700.1.1 revising the test score requirements for admissions. Effective Fall 2025, students with a weighted GPA between 2.5 and less than 2.8 must submit SAT or ACT scores. Students with a weighted GPA of 2.8 or higher have the option to submit these scores.

If you have any further questions please contact Ulisa Bowles, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, at uebowles@northcarolina.edu.
