Academic College Test (ACT) Residual

ACT Residual Test

The ACT Residual is a nationally administered, standardized paper-and-pencil test that helps colleges evalulate candidates.  AdventHealth University (AHU) uses the ACT to evaluate prospective students for class placement.  An ACT or SAT score is required for admission to AHU professional programs.  AHU offers the ACT Residual for student prospects and applicants looking to enroll to the University, but have not taken the ACT/SAT in order to satisfy admission requirements.  The ACT Residual is offered at the Orlando campus for a fee of $55.00.
