How are institutions notified when new ACT Score Reports are available?
You have the option to receive email notifications when new Score Reports are available. Notifications are delivered based on the settings established in your account. Scores are delivered, by default, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but you can also choose daily or weekly delivery.
Can we automate downloading ACT Score Reports?
You sure can! Encoura features an Application Programming Interface (API) that facilitates automated data delivery. Documentation for the API, including sample scripts, can found in Help Center once you have your account.
My institution receive scores for multiple locations. Will that continue in Encoura?
Yes, institution systems receiving schools as part of a reporting group will continue to receive score reports sent to all of your locations in Encoura. We can also set up a reporting group if your institution would like all ACT Score Reports for your campuses routed to a single location.
We don't consider test scores for admission. How would ACT Score Reports be useful to us?
As part of our efforts to support student on their path to college and career success, ACT allows each student sitting for the test to send an official copy of their score report to up to 5 institutions at no cost. The reports are sent directly to you from students who are familiar with your “institutional identity” and interested in your college, scholarship, and talent placement opportunities. The information in these reports can be used to complete applications, complete profile information, and shed light on educational attainment when awarding scholarships or military appointments.
Who can I reach out to if I still have questions?
Questions can be directed to your dedicated Regional Director or submitted online. Our Enrollment Outreach Manager will ensure the question is routed to the appropriate team member for the best response.
