A student’s high school academic performance, including curriculum, grades, and progression, are the core of the academic review in our admission process. Standardized testing, when submitted, can play a supplementary role, however.
For 15+ years, Providence
College has been proudly test-optional meaning we do not require undergraduate applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of the admission application. Prospective students who choose not to submit standardized test scores will receive full consideration, without penalty, for admission.
Your completed application is the best representation of who you are and what makes you a great candidate for admission. The admission review process at Providence College is holistic and considers all that an individual may bring to our community.
As the college admission process can at times be complex, we hope to provide answers to all the questions you may have. If one of your questions is not answered in this FAQ, please feel free to contact a member of our staff.
We are committed to improving access and rewarding excellence. Financial aid and scholarships place the value of a Providence College education within reach of admitted students.
