No ACT/SAT Required!
At SIU, we know that the best indicator of college success is how hard you worked in high school, not how well you scored on a test.
That’s why we no longer require submission of SAT or ACT scores for students with a high school GPA of 2.75 or above.
Additional Materials
Some programs require you to submit materials in addition to the freshman application checklist or transfer requirements.
