A $50 fee is required with each application. Saint Anselm College will waive the $50 application fee for the following students:

• Visitors: Students who register for and attend an official visit before they submit their application will have their fee waived. This includes any virtual visits. Students will receive details regarding the waiver within 48 hours of the conclusion of their visit.  
• First Generation Domestic and International Students: For this purpose, a first-generation college student is defined as a student whose parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have not completed a bachelor’s degree in the United States.

Saint Anselm College is test-optional for all applicants, including nursing and homeschool applicants.

Applicants may elect to have their test scores reviewed with their application. We will super-score the SAT and ACT exams. Not submitting their scores will not negatively impact the student’s application.

Applicants may submit self-reported test scores for use during the admission process. Self-reported scores can come directly from the Common Application or a student may send us a PDF copy of their student score report. We will not accept self-reported scores in an email from the student unless the email includes the students’ score report as indicated above. A school counselor may also submit a score report on behalf of the student.

SAT and ACT test dates prior to November 15th will release results in time for scores to be considered with early action or early decision applications. For students applying regular decision, test dates through December 15th will provide results in time for scores to be considered with their application.
