The former deadline was Feb. 1.
The change is one of several steps the schools are taking to support prospective students in applying for admissions to the academies despite the current pandemic. In addition to extending the deadline, these measures include offering special administrations of the ACT at the academiesâ host campuses of Morehead State University (Craft Academy) and Western Kentucky University (Gatton Academy).
Known as ACT OnCampus and formerly known as the ACT Residual Test, these special testing dates provide prospective students the opportunity to take the ACT exam outside of a national test administration and are less likely to be cancelled or rescheduled. For more information on registering for the ACT OnCampus, prospective students should email the Craft Academy at craftacademy@moreheadstate.edu or the Gatton Academy at academy@wku.edu.
