3

Complete and submit your Self-reported Transcript and Student Academic Record (STARS). If you have already graduated from high school and are applying to FAU as a first-year student, please do not submit the STARS. Instead, please ensure that your high school sends us your final official transcript.

Florida Atlantic University is subject to Florida Board of Governors admissions regulation 6.002, which requires first-year students seeking admission to submit an ACT, CLT, or SAT test score.
 
Nursing applicants and applicants who have already graduated high school must submit official test scores (instead of self-reported scores). Official test scores must be ordered directly from the College Board (SAT), ACT, or CLT testing agencies. To submit official test scores, visit the following websites:
