SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University (SU) says it will extend its test-optional policy and will not require SAT or ACT scores for students applying for fall 2026 and spring 2027 admission.
Details surrounding the test-optional policy remain the same as for those who applied for admission since the policy was first established in 2021. The details include not penalizing students who choose not to submit standardized test scores, the university stated.
“Our comprehensive review process has always considered standardized test scores as just one factor,” Maurice Harris, SU’s dean of admissions, said in the announcement. “With our test-optional policy, we place greater emphasis on other aspects of a student’s journey, including academic performance, the rigor of their chosen coursework, and their extracurricular involvement.”
