Additional Information

Test-Optional Policy for Domestic Students
Suffolk University provides an education that's is just as unique as you are. Since no two applicants are the same, our admission counselors will review your application holistically. Plus Suffolk’s test-optional policy lets you decide whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores. We look forward to reading your application and learning more about you in the process.

Test-Flexible Policy for International Students
At Suffolk, we are aware of the limitations some international students have faced regarding standardized testing. Therefore, our testing policy for international students focuses only on submitting proof of English proficiency. We have created a comprehensive list of options that freshman and transfer applicants can submit to fulfill this requirement.
