Are You Needing to Send Your ACT Scores to Colleges?

ACT is providing students participating in State-sponsored testing who have not selected at least one college for automated score reporting through MyACT. If you have already entered at least one college for score reporting then you are not eligible for the voucher. The code will be printed on page 1 of the student’s paper score report and is redeemable for the one-time purchase of up to four additional score reports at no cost. Additional college choices may be included for a fee. All voucher codes will expire, so students should be encouraged to use the code within two weeks of receiving their paper score report. 

Students meeting the voucher eligibility requirements above must wait until they receive their paper score report to obtain their voucher code and use it in MyACT. For the February 23 test window, students will begin receiving their printed score reports the week of March 15. Score reports are shipped up to two weeks later for students who took the writing test.
