Test-optional for fall 2027 entry. Recommends sending all scores.

How to send scores

Official scores required when you apply

Have the College Board or ACT send official scores when you apply.

Send all scores? Encouraged

NJIT recommends sending official scores; it does not say outright whether self-reported scores are accepted.

School’s words: “We recommend you send all your official scores as soon as possible, or no later than the time you test, to avoid missing a deadline.”
