Bellarmine University is test optional, meaning that applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT for undergraduate admissions. The University allows self-reporting of scores, which enables applicants to include their test results in their applications without needing to submit official scores initially. Currently, 8% of applicants submit SAT scores while 45% submit ACT scores, with the combined percentage exceeding 100% as some students submit both types of scores.
