Miles College Temporarily Waves ACT/SAT Requirements

FAIRFIELD, AL — Due to challenges of navigating the admissions process in light of COVID-19, Miles College is adjusting its scholarship guidelines for the 2021 academic school year, including waiving SAT and ACT test requirements.

Applicants are required to submit an official high school transcript and complete the admissions application to be considered for admission to the college. This temporary adjustment for scholarship consideration will be available to prospective students applying for admission for the 2021 spring and fall semester.

"Our primary focus as an institution of higher learning is to continue providing accessible and affordable educational opportunities while removing barriers from students seeking to achieve their educational goals," said Michael Johnson, vice president of Enrollment Management.

As an open-enrollment institution, Miles College does not require prospective students to submit standardized test scores to gain admissions to the college. Once a prospective student completes their admissions application and submits their transcripts from all previously enrolled institutions, they’re automatically considered for institutional scholarships.

Prospective transfer students seeking admission to the college must submit transcripts from all previously enrolled institutions.

UAB also waived standardized test score requirements for the academic year, also citing the challenges of enrollment and scholarship processes during the pandemic.
