Set up Required Tests/Scores

About Required Tests/Scores

As part of an application for admission an institution may require scores from tests such as the SAT or ACT. Tests required are set by academic program (major) and may be displayed to the applicant. Test scores may then be recorded within Campus Cafe.

Test scores may also be used as a pre-requisite for enrollment in a course.

Configure Tests

Each test can contain its own set of scores and if the student repeats a test each score can be recorded.
