We are excited to once again welcome families to our distinctive coastal campus. Led by student ambassadors, our campus tours are available in small groups (limit of four guests in a party) and require a reservation 24 hours or more in advance of your desired visit date. To review more information regarding health and safety protocols and available dates and times, follow the registration link.

In these unprecedented times, many secondary schools and colleges have made adjustments to best support the success of their students. In some cases, students are being allowed to drop courses or to take courses pass/fail instead of being awarded a letter grade. We also understand that some states have or will be waiving statewide testing.

• For seniors who have already been admitted to Salve Regina for the fall semester, we will be flexible with your final grades. Our expectation is that you remain steadfast in completion of your work and fulfill the graduation requirements for your high school.
• For students in their first through third year of high school, we encourage you also to remain diligent in your schoolwork and complete your work as outlined and required by your individual school.
• For transfer students who are at colleges making similar accommodations, we are happy to work with you individually on expectations for admission to Salve Regina for this coming fall and/or future semesters.

We have always and will continue to do a full holistic review of each applicant, including academic work, involvement, accomplishments and goals, with an understanding that many of your opportunities have been paused or changed. If you have any specific questions or concerns, we encourage you to email admissions@salve.edu to speak with your admissions counselor directly.

Salve Regina has been and continues to be a test optional school for the majority of our programs. In past years, we have required testing for students entering the fields of nursing or education and for those who had been home-schooled. For all 2021 and 2022 applicants, the submission of SAT or ACT scores is optional for all applicants at Salve Regina. Students who do not submit scores will not be disadvantaged in the admissions process. If English is not your first language, the results from a TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo English proficiency test is still required.
