TSU will permit First-year students to be admitted for Fall 2020 without an ACT/SAT score if they meet other established requirements for admission. Students with a GPA of 2.5 or higher who have completed an application and have submitted an official high school transcript will be considered for admission based upon their display of strong academic achievement in their core coursework.

In March 2020, the College Board and ACT, Inc. announced that they were suspending the availability of SAT and ACT testing due to logistical and safety issues associated with the administering of the tests during the COVID-19 pandemic. TSU’s decision was made in light of the testing companies’ decision and the circumstances associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Tennessee State University continues to undertake temporary measures to address and manage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This temporary admission adjustment shall apply for the Fall 2020 term only.
