Official SAT or ACT Scores

Only scores received directly from the SAT or ACT testing center are considered to be official scores.
When you took the SAT or ACT exam, you indicated the colleges to which you wanted your scores reported. If you did not list LSU as one of those colleges, LSU has not received your official test scores. You should immediately contact the SAT or ACT testing center and request that your scores are sent to LSU. (For SAT scores, call 609-771-7600 or go to www.collegeboard.com; LSU’s code is 6373. To request ACT scores, call 319-337-1313 or access www.act.org; LSU’s code is 1590.)
