Ohio Northern will continue to maintain the same high academic standards, and the decision to submit test scores will be left to the student applicant. With the uncertainty in the testing climate, we are aware there may be limited options in testing. A test-optional process aims to support students by assuring them they'll be able to apply for admission with or without ACT or SAT聽scores.

We take a holistic approach聽to reviewing applications, meaning several factors of an application are evaluated to determine preparation for success at 青青草视频. Those who don't submit test scores will be evaluated using the following: high school grade point average (GPA), grades in dual enrollment coursework, academic rigor, short answer response on the聽admission application when provided, leadership and service experience.
