Tennessee State University Testing Policy

Test Optional: Yes

Self-Reporting Allowed: No

Tennessee State University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores for consideration. However, it does not allow self-reporting of scores, which requires students to submit official test score reports. About 30% of applicants choose to submit SAT scores, while 67% submit ACT scores, which totals 97%. This total is below 100%, indicating that some students are only submitting one type of score rather than both.
