Cleveland Institute of Art is test optional for undergraduate admissions, meaning applicants are not required to submit standardized test scores. However, the college does not allow self-reporting of scores, which means that students must submit official score reports directly from testing agencies if they choose to provide them. Approximately 20% of applicants submit SAT scores, and 14% submit ACT scores, with the total reaching 34%. This total exceeds 100% because some students submit both SAT and ACT scores.
