How to send scores

Self-report accepted; school doesn’t say when official scores are due

You can self-report or send official scores. The school’s page doesn’t say when official scores are required.

Self-report only through the FSU portal form, not the Common App.

School’s words: “FSU does not accept self-reported test scores from the Common App. ... Students should self-report their test scores on the Admissions Portal using the Self-reported Test Scores form.”
