There are two types of ACT tests, National and Residual. UA Little Rock accepts only the ACT national scores.
The national test is offered at hundreds of testing centers in February, April, June, September, October, and December. National scores can be sent to any university a student selects from the ACT list.
The ACT Residual Test is offered by some universities exclusively for their students. Residual scores are valid only at the campus where you take the test. They may not be transferred to or used by another institution.
Only official, national, score reports that come directly from ACT are accepted. Student reports, high school transcripts, photocopies, faxes, etc. are not acceptable. To request that a score report be sent to UA Little Rock, one should visit the ACT website at act.org to submit a request.
UA Little Rock receives ACT scores electronically for regular registrants who indicated UA Little Rock as a recipient at the time of their registration for an ACT exam date. Testing Services uploads these scores to the University system within 14 working days, barring any delays.
