Admission Requirements

Fall 2021

In contrast to the most common test-optional policies, Cal Maritime Academy operates as a test-blind college. This means that it does not consider or require SAT or ACT scores for admission purposes. Regardless of whether applicants submit test scores or not, they will not be factored into the admissions evaluation.

The primary motivation behind test-blind policies is to promote equity and inclusivity in the admissions process.
