Required Tests

Students whose native language is not English must submit the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). To be considered for academic scholarships, applicants need to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT). The applicant must request that the testing agency submit the official results to Christian Brothers University.

To be considered for admission for the upcoming Fall semester, the preferred last testing date to take the SAT or ACT are the October or December test dates. This will give the applicant time to get all documents together to complete the application file and sign the necessary forms for obtaining an I-20. February and April tests are acceptable but you should consider the time frame of submitting all documents, the admissions decision, obtaining an I-20, and preparing for the VISA interview with your consultant.

The Educational Testing Service (ETS) code for Christian Brothers University is 1121 and the ACT code is 3952. For additional information or to register for the Scholastic Aptitude Test visit the College Board's website. To register for the American College Testing Program visit the ACT website.
