Does an adult with no previous college have to take SAT enroll?

Adults without prior college experience or a General Educational Development (GED) diploma may be required to take the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) when seeking admission to a college or university. Institutions have different policies regarding admissions requirements, and some may have alternative assessment options for adult learners with non-traditional educational backgrounds.

Some colleges may offer an open admissions policy for adult students, allowing them to enroll without meeting the same requirements as traditional college-age applicants. Others may have specific requirements, such as completing an adult basic education (ABE) program, passing a college entrance exam, or demonstrating proficiency in foundational skills.

The best approach is to research the admission requirements of specific colleges and universities that you may be interested in attending. You can typically find this information on the institutions' websites or by contacting their admissions office directly. Many higher education institutions offer flexible admission policies and resources for adult learners to support their academic success.
