I have no clue what GVSU is, but if you’ve ordered a score report for them from ACT, it’ll be sent electronically. It may well be that they already have it, but your file isn’t up-to-date; at many colleges, it can take up to two weeks to update applicants’ files when a lot of material is coming in near the deadline.

After the first of the year, check your status again. If your ACT scores are still missing, contact the admissions office to discuss the problem with them.

This actually happened to my daughter a couple of years ago. Our state flagship university hadn’t matched her standardized test scores, sent 6 or 8 weeks before the deadline, with the rest of her file. She sent copies of her score reports, and copies of the email receipts from when she ordered the scores sent to the university, to the admissions office, and then she contacted somebody in the admissions office to explain her problem. The admissions officer there tracked down her scores and added them to her file. The whole correction took less than two days.

It sounds as if you’ve done your work correctly, but somebody else, somewhere, made an error. If you act promptly and make this known to GVSU, they’re not going to hold it against you.
