CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Because of challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Austin Peay State University is waiving the standardized test requirement for student applications for the summer and fall 2021 terms. This includes both undergraduate and graduate admissions.

Austin Peay first adopted the test-optional admission policy earlier this year, eliminating the requirement to submit an ACT, SAT or GRE score with applications.

"During these challenging times, students don't need the added stress of worrying about these tests in order to enroll in college," Dr. Maria Cronley, APSU provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, said. "We're excited for these students to become Governors, and we're removing the obstacles that might prevent them from applying and succeeding at Austin Peay."

Other admission requirements must still be met for potential students to be accepted into the school. Undergraduate admission requirements can be found here, while graduate requirements can be found here.

The application for admission is available on APSU's admissions page.
