**Test Optional Policy: Under Coe’s test-optional policy, ACT/SAT scores are not required for students applying for admission.

Students applying under the test-optional policy will still be considered for a Trustee Scholarship valued up to $34,000 per year. Only students applying as first-year applicants with a 3.0 GPA or higher may choose to exclude their test score from the application process.

Application Fee: A $30 fee is due with your application only when submitting a paper application after December 10.
