Report of GRE General Test scores. The GRE General Test scores are required, but the Subject Test in Psychology is not required. GRE scores must be sent directly the Office of Graduate Admissions from the testing service and cannot be attached to the online application. Catholic University's test code for the GRE and TOEFL is 5104. Our program has made the GRE General Test optional for admission to the fall 2022 class. Applications without GRE scores will be given equal consideration. If applicants have GRE scores, they may submit scores and they will be considered by the admissions committee.
