Category: Application Questions
University of Portland will accept both SAT and ACT scores. For applicants applying through Fall 2025, UP will be test-optional.
Based on the 2023-2024 first-year class, the middle 50% for the SAT was a score of 1200 to 1340 and a middle 50% ACT composite score of 25 to 30. We will superscore all SAT tests and take the highest composite ACT score.
There are three ways to submit your test scores for the purpose of admission. Record self reported scores on your application, download the score report (PDF) through your CollegeBoard/ACT account and send to admission_documents@up.edu, or have the testing agency submit your scores for you (our ACT code is 3500 and our SAT code is 4847).
*If self reported scores are used for admission purposes, you are required to submit official test scores if you decide to attend University of Portland.
