The University of Akron is a test-optional institution, meaning that students are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. Additionally, the university allows self-reporting of scores, which enables applicants to provide their scores without the need for official documentation initially. Currently, 20% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 72% submit ACT scores. The combined percentage exceeds 100% because some students submit both SAT and ACT scores.
