Accessing Scores
It is required that you maintain your official score report from SAT to utilize for licensing if your most up to date scores were not reported to UMD. Because UMD requires an ACT or SAT score for admission, we should have these on file in our student record system, PeopleSoft. If you were a transfer student coming into UMD providing ACT or SAT scores is voluntary. You can view your SAT scores online.
If you do not meet the required minimum scores above you have the option of retaking the SAT OR taking the ACT Plus Writing OR taking the MTLE Basic Skills Exam (Reading, Writing and Math).
SAT Retake Policy
● No wait period between retakes
● Must take entire exam (reading, writing and math) and obtain MN Professional Educators and Licensing and Standards Board required scores.
