FAYETTEVILLE, Ark — The University of Arkansas at Fayetteville has decided to change some testing requirements to give prospective freshmen more options for enrollment next year. 

Suzanne McCray is the school’s top enrollment official. 

She told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette in an email that admission will be test optional for students with at least a 3.2 high school grade-point average.

But she said those students will still need to test for state requirements. 

Students from out of state won’t need a minimum ACT score to receive major scholarships, and some awards for in-state students will not require standardized test scores.
