Submit Transcript and Scores
USA will be offering spring, summer, and fall applicants a test-optional path for
admission to USA. Students with high school GPA's with a 3.4 or better will be automatically
admitted to South. Students with GPA's below a 3.4 will enter a review process for
admission. These students could be asked to supply additional materials. Students
who choose the test optional track will also be eligible for scholarships. Scholarships
for test-optional students will be awarded based on strength of curriculum, grades,
and a variety of other factors.
Students are able to select test-optional on their applications. We do recommend that
students with ACT 21 or better and/or SAT 1060 or better submit their scores for best
scholarship consideration.
Request your official high school transcript be sent to the University of South Alabama
Office of Admissions.
Request that your ACT or SAT scores be sent to the University of South Alabama.
