The regular deadline to register for the December 11th ACT is this Friday, November 5th. To register, click here.

The December 11, 2021 ACT test is a great exam to take because it is the next opportunity for students to purchase the exam they took, the correct answers, and their answers. This option is called TIR (test information release) and is only offered on the December, April (national exam, not the free exam given at EVHS during the school day) and June exams. The TIR is extremely helpful when students are preparing to take future ACT exams. For more information, click here.

The U of M Share My App Program allows applicants to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus to share their application with all University of Minnesota campuses with no additional application or fee. This program was initiated to showcase the opportunities available system-wide and encourage applications to other campuses: Crookston, Duluth, Morris, and Rochester. Within one week of completing their applications to the Twin Cities campus, students will see an optional Share My App checklist item in their Application Tracker where they can fill out a short form to request us to share their application.

Students should keep the other campus application deadlines in mind to ensure they are applying on time and take appropriate steps to apply directly if they are making ???Share My App??? requests too close to the deadlines.
