You will need to have a credit card, or follow in the instructions for paying with a check or money order.

Test scores (ACT and/or SAT) must be sent directly to the Clearinghouse from the testing agencies.  ACT or SAT scores are part of the criteria used to determine your eligibility for Division I and Division II sports in college.  NCAA no longer accepts ACT or SAT scores from high school transcripts.  You must have your scores sent directly from ACT or SAT.
