The K-State Testing Center administers the On-Campus ACT test by appointment on dates when ACT is not offering a national test, or if the K-State Test Center is not participating on one of ACT's national test dates. Prospective test takers can find scheduled test dates on the Schedules page on this site. To register, complete and submit the Testing Services Request Form to the testing office.
