Augustana College has joined the ranks of institutions that have adopted "test optional" admissions policies. Under the new policy, recently approved by a vote of the Augustana faculty, students who apply for admission to Augustana College will no longer be required to submit standardized-test scores. The test-optional policy affects students applying for admission for the fall of 2008 and beyond. Augustana's test-optional admissions process is described in the admissions section of the college's Web site (http://www.augustana.edu/admissions/test-optional) . The Web page includes instructions for students who have already submitted test scores for admission in 2008 who would now like to proceed under the new policy.
