What SAT and ACT scores do University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students report?

It describes enrolled students who chose to provide scores, rather than a threshold for admission or a profile of every entering student. Applicants can place their own ACT result beside the university's 20 to 26 range to gauge how it compares with recently enrolled score submitters.
Scores outside that range do not establish an admission outcome; the figures are a reference for the submitted-score group.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
At University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Pell Grant recipients account for 28.7% of undergraduates, placing financial access alongside a campus of 7,306 undergraduates. An estimated 19.7% of undergraduates entered as transfers or part-time students, so the student body includes people arriving through more than one college path.
That mix suggests a public university serving both students receiving Pell Grants and students continuing work begun elsewhere. Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should ask how their grants or prior coursework will be reviewed before making an enrollment decision.
Pell Grant recipients in the first-time full-time cohort complete within six years at 60.9%, above the overall rate by 10.1 percentage points. The cohort’s six-year graduation rate is 50.8%, compared with a peer median of 49.1% among comparable institutions in the same type and size.
For first-year students, 73.8% return for a second year, just above the 73.7% peer median. Enrolled students can expect return and six-year completion measures that both sit slightly above the comparable-institution medians, alongside a higher completion rate for Pell recipients than for the cohort overall.
