American College Test (ACT).  All regularly enrolled students, under age 21, are encouraged to take the ACT test  Results no more than five-years-old—the test is given five times annually on national testing dates. Students taking the test prior to college enrollment should put the Seminole State College code number (3436) on the ACT application as one of the places the score results are to be sent. . Students are encouraged to take the ACT test if planning to attend another college/university after they leave Seminole State College.

4. Students who have not earned the required high school units, must clear any deficiency before enrolling in college courses in the specific subject area. Deficiencies may be cleared by meeting itemized scoring standards on the ACT test, by taking college assessment tests and meeting required score requirements, or by enrolling in pre-college level course. Pre-college level course will not count toward satisfaction of degree program requirements. Students must clear any curricular deficiency with the first 24 hours of college credit.  See required units.
