The On-Campus™ (Walk-In) ACT is similar to National ACT in terms of format and scoring. The examination takes about 3 hours and consists of test questions that measure your knowledge of English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. ACT On-Campus Testing is not a practice test. Test preparation resources can be found on the National ACT website at ACT Student Test Prep.
Individuals taking the On-Campus ACT at Marshall University must be enrolled, have been admitted, or have submitted an application to Marshall University. On-Campus ACT test scores are only valid at Marshall University and St. Mary’s Medical Center cooperative education programs in Medical Imaging, Nursing, and Respiratory Care.
Individuals cannot take the ACT On-Campus test for NCAA eligibility or for purposes of qualifying for the Promise Scholarship. Marshall University does NOT provide extended time accommodations to the On-Campus ACT exam. Students seeking accommodations should register for the National ACT.
