Tips for Saving Money when Sending SAT and/or ACT Test Scores to CSU's

Send scores to multiple campuses for free or the price of one campus! Select one campus during test registration and it's free; request a score report to one CSU after you take the test (for a small fee) and later release scores to additional campuses for free.
  • SAT: Use school code 3594 for Cal State Apply. Do so, either when you register for SAT or after you take the test and request a score report. This code will send your SAT scores to the CSU Mentor at the Chancellor's Office in Long Beach. So all CSU campuses for the price of one!
  • ACT: Request that your ACT scores are sent to one of the CSUs; doing so also files the score in the CSU Mentor application system for you to release them to other CSU campuses. When you create your application online at CSU Mentor you can release score by accessing the ACT manager under the Apply Online section.
