Covid-19 College Updates
The UCs are relaxing testing requirements and will no longer require ACT or SAT for the class of 2021 ONLY. They are also accepting pass/fail grades for the classes taken in the spring of 2020 for all students. Students may still submit test scores but are not required to and the lack of testing will not hurt their applications.
The CSUs are accepting pass/fail grades for classes taken in spring 2020. There is no decision on testing requirements at this time.
