CSU applications: If
you need to send your SAT or ACT test
scores to the any of the CSU campuses you
can do so by using just one code number
and it will go to all of them--so you pay
for one sending instead of multiples. The
code for both ACT and SAT for the CSU
system is 3594. UC does not have a code
like this and you must send the scores to
the individual campuses. Don't forget to
send your scores to the college campuses.
The scores must come directly from the
testing service (SAT--Collegeboard.com and
ACT --ACT.org).
