SAT Scores are optional

Admission to CIU for international students is primarily based on their high school diploma and proof of English proficiency (or passing the university's English exam). However, the university's official application guidelines state that applicants can submit international test results, such as the SAT, if they are available. While not required, submitting a score is an accepted and optional part of the application.
