different colleges and universities have differen't guidlines for non-tradional students..you just have to check with the ones that you are considering. ask about non-traditional student acceptance information.
Many schools have grandfather clauses for each time that they changed acceptance guidelines. The ACT does not to my knowledge expire so if you had an acceptable score back then you should be fine.
And once again it really just depends on the school.

Hey I went back to school at 32! I suggets starting at a community college (anybody in the community can go) and then, after you get your AA degree you can transfer to just about any school you want. I am in a top 20 Biz School and even though I hate to admit it I did horrible on my ACT's and barely graduated High School (yep a staggering 1.75 GPA). You won't have to take the ACT's or SAT's either, just a placement test to see where your needs fall. You may even have a small advantage over the younger more traditional students in that you have gotten all of your partying out of the way and are ready to buckle down and do the work required. As an example, I currently carry a 4.0 GPA. Good Luck!!

Usually over 25 all you need to do is take a placement test. You do still need a high school diploma or GED. You probably won't get into any majorly competitive programs with high scores, though.

You may want to start off at a Community College to build some good grades (and save money) then it might be easier to transfer into a University.

Most schools have different entrance requirements for "mature students". Check with a college you are interested in and see what they say.

i'm pretty sure you would have to take either the ACT or SAT over...call the school admissions and ask!
