Due to SAT and ACT testing cancelations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio Northern University will allow most prospective first-year students to apply for admission in the fall of 2021 without these test scores.
Students applying for admission to the nursing, early childhood education, and middle childhood education programs are not eligible for test-optional admissions and must present their ACT or SAT results due to accreditation standards. Home-schooled students are also not eligible for test-optional admission.
The university will continue to maintain the same high academic standards, and the decision to submit test scores will be left to the student applicant.
