California Lutheran University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: Yes

California Lutheran University is test optional, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for admission. The university allows self reporting of scores, which allows students to provide their test results without needing to submit official score reports initially. Approximately 7% of applicants submit SAT scores, while 3% submit ACT scores, resulting in a combined total of 10%. The overlap in submissions may indicate that some students provide both SAT and ACT scores.
