Recognizing that students are more than the sum of their numbers, Quincy University embraces a test optional admission policy.  Students may choose to submit an SAT or ACT score as part of their admission application or may elect to have their academic credentials considered without a standardized test result.  Students will be considered for admission and scholarship assistance regardless of whether or not a test score is submitted.

Quincy University is committed to helping prospective students and their families any way we can during this time of global uncertainty. We hope this action eliminates some of the stress you are feeling about the college search process.

The Admissions staff also recognizes that, with high school closures, you may have difficulty having a transcript sent to our office.  If this is the case for you, please feel free to send unofficial copies or a screenshot of your high school transcript/cumulative GPA for review. In addition, students will send a 500-word writing sample using a Quincy University-provided prompt.
