Seniors - Sending Official SAT scores to Colleges

Seniors: You will need to send your OFFICIAL SAT scores to the 4 year colleges you are applying to. Official scores come straight from the collegeboard and go straight to the admissions offices of the colleges. In order to send official scores, sign in to your collegeboard SAT account and select the "Send Scores" option. You will have 4 free scores, and after that they will charge you for each additional score sent. If you are applying to HSU and/or any other CSU, then use the code: 3594. This code will send your SAT scores to ALL CSUs and save your other free choices for other colleges. Student athletes who are registering for the NCAA Clearinghouse will also need official SAT scores sent from the collegeboard. The code used to send scores to the NCAA Clearinghouse is 9999.
Plan to have your official scores sent before the end of November. Any questions, see Mrs. Austin
