What is the Residual ACT?
The Residual ACT is an additional testing option administered between the National ACT testing dates that are offered on campus.
Who is Eligible & What is it's Purpose?
The Residual ACT is designated for students that have been admitted to JSU, and it's main purpose is to aid our current full-time students in attaining appropriate scores for program admission.
Is Residual ACT Testing Different from the National ACT?
There is no difference between the tests that are administered during National or Residual ACT testing. However, there is a difference between the score reporting option. Residual ACT scores are directly reported to JSU and cannot be transferred to another institution or be used for NCAA eligibility.
How Often is it Given?
Testing dates are limited. Residual ACT tests are not given during months when a National ACT testing date is available on campus, and must be administered 60 days apart from the previous Residual ACT test date.
Is the Residual ACT an Option if I Plan to Attend JSU in the Future?
All potential JSU students that are not currently enrolled at the institution are encouraged to sign up for our National ACT testing opportunities offered on campus. Current full-time students receive priority registration for the Residual ACT and typically fill all of the spots.
