APSU waiving ACT, SAT and GRE tests for 2021 summer and fall admission
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. 鈥 It鈥檚 now easier than ever to apply to Austin Peay State University. That鈥檚 because the University is again waiving standardized test requirements 鈥 the ACT, SAT and GRE 鈥 for any student applying for undergraduate or graduate admission for the summer and fall 2021 terms. The University adopted this test-optional admission policy earlier this year because of the many challenges potential students faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It鈥檚 never been easier to become a Gov.鈥
