Unique Circumstances

For students not on a Texas High School Diploma Program
In addition to meeting the above standardized test score requirements, the State of Texas requires applicants to fulfill ONE of the following criteria:
- Submit, for private school students, the Texas Private High School Certification.
- Satisfied ACT College Readiness Benchmark scores (English: 18, Math: 22, Reading: 22, and Science: 23) OR earned a SAT (old test) composite score of at least 1500 (out of a possible 2400) OR earned a SAT (new test) score of 480 Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and 530 Math.
For Homeschooled students
- Home-schooled applicants for admission who present evidence of completion of a nontraditional secondary education without an official class rank will have a class rank assigned by the Office of Admissions. This process is in accordance with Texas Senate Bill 1543. The class rank will be comparable to the average class rank of other applicants who have equivalent ACT or SAT scores.
- Students who meet above requirements will be admitted; all other applications will go through a file review.
To receive dual-credit, Advanced Placement (AP) credits or credits by exam

Official college transcripts and/or advanced placement scores must be submitted in order to receive earned credit.

Students who submit ACT or SAT scores for admission purposes may be eligible for credit at Angelo State University.
