Send Your Test Results
*Due to the current climate, current high school seniors have had limited opportunities to take standardized tests. However, more testing opportunities are becoming readily available. As a result, Ohio Christian would like to make the college admissions process more accessible to those students who do meet the GPA requirement by becoming test optional. And for those students who do not meet the GPA requirement OCU would like to make the college admissions process more accessible as well with an acceptable ACT score. For more information, visit the Test Optional FAQs page.
Forward results from the ACT, SAT, or CLT. (If you have taken an equivalent test already, contact us to ask if we will accept it.) If tests have been taken more than once, show all results. Scores may be sent directly from the testing agency or included on your high school transcript.
