Dakota State University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: No

Dakota State University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. However, self-reporting of scores is not allowed, so if applicants choose to submit scores, they must provide official documentation. Approximately 16% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 67% submit ACT scores, resulting in a total of 83% of applicants submitting at least one type of score. This indicates that some students are likely submitting both SAT and ACT scores.
