ACT on Campus Residual Exam

The ACT On Campus Residual Exam is a standardized test to measure student readiness for entry-level college placement. The ACT on Campus Residual Testing Program is provided for participating colleges that wish to administer the ACT to their enrolled or admitted (or in the proof of being admitted) students who were unable to test on a national test date.

The ACT On Campus exam is provided so ACT-participating colleges can administer the ACT to enrolled, admitted, or applicant students who were UNABLE to test on a National ACT Exam date in time to meet enrollment deadlines at OU. Individuals who wish to take the ACT On-Campus Exam at the OU Testing Center must have submitted a current application to OU before registering to take the exam.  Results are reported only to OU.  No High School Reports are generated, and no additional Score Reports will be generated to report scores to any other institution.

If a National ACT Exam date is available between the time a student calls and the student's expected semester of enrollment, the student will not be able to schedule an appointment to take the ACT On-Campus Exam but will instead be directed to take the National ACT Exam.  Appointments will only be scheduled for students after all available National ACT Exam dates have passed.  Scheduling dates are subject to change.

Scheduling

To register for the ACT On Campus Residual Exam, use the Schedule Exam button at the top of the page and pay the $100 fee online. 

Exam Date: TBA

Exam Time: TBA

Cost/Registration

Space is limited, so it is best to register as soon as possible before all the available slots are taken. The cost of the exam is $100, and it is non-refundable.

Score Reports

Upon completion, exams are hand-graded, and students are emailed an unofficial copy two to three days after testing. Those exam scores are sent to OU Admissions and Recruitment.  The exams are mailed back to ACT for official scoring, and those score reports are sent directly to OU Admissions and Recruitment, but please expect a six to eight-week delay in score reports depending on the semester time frame.

Oklahoma State Regent Policy

Students may only take the ACT on Campus Residual Exam once during the academic year at any one institution in which the respective ACT on Campus Residual Exam is valid (August 15 through September 28 the following year), and the test date shall not coincide with a national ACT test date. Scores will be canceled, and no refunds will be provided for violations of this policy.

Students may take the ACT no more than 12 times in total. In addition to the Regent's policy above, a minimum of 60 days must pass before repeat residual testing. If you choose to test without sixty days elapsing, your score will be canceled, and no refund will be provided.

Students are encouraged to participate in the national ACT test dates.

Additional Information

Students must present a valid driver's license, state ID card, or passport in order to take the test at the OU Testing Center. 

The Testing Center will provide all pencils and scratch paper.

The total testing time is approximately four hours. Please be sure to arrive early!  Students arriving after the start time will not be tested. We have lockers for all items.

Students may bring any calculator that is permitted under the ACT Calculator Policy, and it is the student's responsibility to know whether their calculators are permitted.  Students must bring their own calculators, as the testing center will not provide them.

Foreign Language Requirement Assessment (FLRA)

The language assessment (FLRA) waives the general language requirement for students who are already competent in oral, reading, and written skills in another language at or above the intermediate level. 

It does NOT provide academic credit.  The assessment is only used to waive the general education language requirements on your degree plan.

*PLEASE NOTE:  For languages NOT offered in the Modern Languages Department, there is NO guarantee of an approved examiner to administer the exam. 

FLRA FAQ

How much does the exam cost? 
The price of the assessment is $100 for any student wishing to waive the language requirement in ANY language for which we have an examiner available.  The assessment must be paid for first before an appointment can be scheduled.  Please click on the “Schedule Exam” button on the left-hand navigation side of this page.

How do I schedule the FLRA? 
Once payment has been made, the Testing Center staff will reach out to the examiner of the chosen language who will reach out to the student to schedule.  The FLRA form will be sent to the examiner, so they can fill it out and return it to the Testing Center, which will then process it with your academic adviser.

Who should pursue an FLRA interview/form?
Students who are competent speakers of a foreign language whose level is likely to be higher than the intermediate level in speaking, reading, and writing and are seeking to satisfy their general education language requirement.

What if I have questions?  
For students who wish to waive the language requirement and have questions, please contact us at testing@ou.edu.
