Testing Requirements The Terry College of Business requires all applicants to the Minor in Business to report an ACT/SAT score. If you believe your ACT/SAT scores do not represent your current performance level, you have the option to supplement your application by taking the ETS Proficiency Profile exam – a general assessment exam. Details on the full Minor in Business application process can be found on the minor in business page. The questions and answers below are meant to provide you with important information, specifically on the testing requirements of the minor admission application. Do I need to self-report my ACT/SAT scores as part of my application? If the University of Georgia does not have your ACT/SAT test score as a part of its official record, you will need to self-report an ACT/SAT test score as part of the College’s minor application process. To check if UGA already has an official ACT and/or SAT test score in your record:
If you do not see these scores, you need to self-report your test scores as part of the Minor in Business application process. To self-report your test scores, you need to submit scores and provide a pdf document(s) containing all of the scores used to construct your self-reported scores (see instructions further below). Although you may, you are not required to submit information for more than one exam or more than one attempt. In fact, reporting a single exam will reduce your cost of officially reporting if you are required to do so. Do I need to officially submit ACT and/or SAT test scores to the University of Georgia in addition to self-reporting my scores? If you matriculated as a freshman to a school NOT in the University System of Georgia (a private institution in the state of Georgia or an out of state institution), you will need to officially submit test scores to UGA in addition to self-reporting your scores in your Minor in Business application. A list of University System of Georgia schools can be found at https://www.usg.edu/institutions/. If your school is not on this list, you will need to officially submit your scores directly to the University of Georgia’s Admissions Office. To request ACT scores (UGA’s ACT reporting code = 0872): http://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/scores/sending-your-scores.html To request SAT scores (UGA’s SAT reporting code = 5813): https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/scores/sending-scores/old-scores Please act today – ACT processing can take up to 1 week and SAT processing can take 1- 3 weeks. If scores are not received by the mid-point of the semester in which you are applying to the minor, your admission decision may be impacted. What if I never took the ACT/SAT standardized test? Note that an ACT/SAT score is a required component for a complete Minor in Business application and for a student to receive the highest level of consideration. If you have not taken the ACT or SAT, you MUST take the ETS to receive any level of consideration. Should I take the ETS exam to supplement my application? If you believe your ACT/SAT scores do not represent your current performance level, you have the option to supplement your application by taking the ETS exam. The ETS Proficiency Profile is a timed assessment of core skills — critical thinking, reading, writing and mathematics. The ETS Proficiency Profile is administered by the UGA Testing Center, and all questions regarding testing times and costs should be directed to the Testing Center (testing.uga.edu). Self-reporting Your ACT Test Scores On your Minor in Business application, if you submit scores from the ACT, you will be asked to report your scores in the areas of English and Mathematics, as well as your composite score. You are not required to submit information from more than one exam attempt. If you choose to report the results for more than one attempt of the ACT, the highest score in each of the areas noted above will be used. You will be asked to upload a pdf file for each exam used in your application. In the example below, the applicant submitted scores from two attempts and will need to report these scores and upload a pdf file for each attempt during the application process.
Please note that reporting such information falls under the Student Conduct Code and Academic Honesty policies of the University of Georgia. Please be careful and honest in your reporting. Note that scores will be verified, and incorrectly reported scores may result in a change in your minor admission status. Gathering information needed to self-report ACT scores on your application:
Self-reporting Your SAT Test Scores
When entering your SAT scores please do not mix results from the different versions of the exam. If you took the exam more than once, you may wish to submit scores from a single SAT exam if little variation in scores exists. If you choose to report the results for more than one attempt of the SAT, the highest score in each of the areas noted above will be used. You will be asked to upload a pdf file for each exam included in your application. In the example for the old SAT below, all of the maximum scores come from one exam attempt, so the applicant only needs to submit scores from that exam. However, in the example for the revised SAT, the applicant will need to report the scores for each exam and upload a pdf file for each attempt during the application process. On your Minor in Business application, if you submit scores from the old SAT, you will be asked to report your score in the areas of Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. If you report scores from the New (revised) SAT, you will be asked to report your scores in the areas of Evidenced-Based Reading and Writing, Mathematics and your total score. Please do not mix results from the old SAT and the new (revised) SAT. Note, you may wish to submit scores from a single SAT exam if little variation in scores exists. If you choose to report the results for more than one attempt of the SAT, the highest score in each of the areas noted above will be used. You will be asked to upload a pdf file for each exam used in your application. In the example for the old SAT, the applicant must only submit scores for one of the exam attempts and a single pdf file containing exam scores. However, in the example for the revised SAT, the applicant will need to report the scores for each exam and upload a pdf file for each attempt during the application process.
Please note that reporting such information falls under the Student Conduct Code and Academic Honesty policies of the University of Georgia. Please be careful and honest in your reporting.
