Rider University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

Rider University is test optional and allows self reporting of standardized test scores. This means students can choose whether to submit their SAT or ACT scores during the admissions process, and if they do submit scores, they have the option to report them themselves rather than requiring official testing agency submissions. Currently, 18% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 2% submit ACT scores; the combined percentage of 20% indicates that some students may be submitting both types of scores.
