ACT On-Campus™ (Formerly ACT Residual)

Announcements

Please be advised that properly wearing a face cover is mandatory in all ASU buildings, and face coverings are to be worn for the duration of the exam. Single-layer neck fleece covers, also known as gaiters, and face coverings with valves do not satisfy the requirement for use of a face covering on campus.

Please do not come to the testing center if you are feeling ill or experiencing symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of smell or taste, sore throat, muscle pain). If you are feeling ill on the day of the exam or if you believe you have been exposed in the last 14 days to someone who was currently positive or awaiting results for COVID-19, please contact our office to reschedule the exam.

For additional details about ASU’s COVID-19 mitigation strategy, visit the ASU Coronavirus FAQs.

Due to the current situation, the testing schedule is published one month at a time. Please contact our office at 480-965-7146 or uts@asu.edu if you do not find an appointment that meets your needs.

November 2019 Update

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

We offer both the ACT National and the ACT On-Campus™ (Formerly ACT Residual). ACT On-Campus™ testing at ASU is used to help determine eligibility for undergraduate admission as well as admission to the W.P. Carey School of Business. Unlike the ACT National test, ACT On-Campus™ test scores are valid only at ASU. Registration is limited to prospective students actively applying to ASU or admitted ASU students. NOTE: The ACT On-Campus™ exam may NOT be used by high school students to satisfy their AIMS test requirement. These scores are ONLY valid at ASU and cannot be used for any other purpose than admission to ASU.
