ACT On-Campus

The ACT On Campus is available to Arkansas Tech University (ATU) to administer to students who were unable to test on a national ACT test date. Students should register for and take the national ACT on one of the six national test dates offered during the academic year, utilizing the ACT On Campus only as a last recourse. Scores from this exam are valid only at ATU and are not transferable to any other institution or agency by transcript or any other means.

ATU is required to limit ACT On Campus testing to students who have enrolled, have been admitted, or have officially applied to the university. Scores from the exam are reported only to ATU for admission, course placement, and advising purposes. Students must take the exam in its entirety. Students attempting to raise an individual test score (for example, math or English) in order to avoid remediation should take the ACCUPLACER exam.

ACT places these additional restrictions upon administration of the ACT On Campus:

  • The ACT On Campus may not be used as a practice test in preparation for the national ACT.
  • The ACT On Campus is not for use with younger students (for example, students who do not meet the minimum age/grade requirement to sit for the national ACT).
  • The ACT On Campus may not be transported to or administered at any off-campus locations.
  • Students may not take the ACT On Campus more than once in a 60 day period at any institution or combination of institutions.

ACT permits students to take the ACT up to twelve times. The ACT On Campus is counted toward this total.

The ACT On Campus testing year runs November 1 through September 30. ACT On Campus testing will not be conducted on any of the six regularly scheduled national ACT test dates. The ACT On Campus is available to be scheduled and administered upon request. ACT On Campus test scores from January will be accepted for ATU academic scholarship purposes. Test dates are available by appointment only. Please allow for adequate time for scheduling.
