Residual ACT Registration

You can register on the web, or a registration form can be downloaded (its a PDF form). If you can't do either, then call our office at 330-972-7084 and we will send you a registration form. The Residual ACT is a special ACT that is good only at the University of Akron. The test dates are never on the same dates at the National ACT. Unlike the National ACT, where you register with ACT in Iowa, registration for the Residual ACT takes place at the University of Akron. You can register for the test until the end of the Tuesday before the exam. We stencil score the answer sheets before sending them to ACT, so your scores will be at the Admissions Office within several work days.
