Disability Resources
The Office of Disability Resources (ODR) determines accommodations on a case-by-case basis in consideration of the condition's impact on the individual, history of accommodations and essential elements of Appalachian State University’s courses, programs and activities.
Test Score Consideration for First-year Applicants
If a student has a weighted GPA below 2.8 (on a 4.0 scale), they will be required to self-report a minimum ACT score of 17 or an SAT score of 930 on your application. Upon admission, they will need to provide an official score that matches that self-reported score after they confirm their enrollment to App State. The CLT exam will not fulfil this requirement.
If a student have a weighted GPA of 2.8 or above (on a 4.0 scale), they will be required to indicate whether or not they plan to submit SAT, ACT or CLT scores for consideration in the admission review process.
