Admission Requirements
Fall 2021
Texas Lutheran University uses the following list of admission requirements and recommended documents when evaluating students' applications. All documents listed under the Required sections must be submitted with your application, but those listed under the Recommended section are optional.
In contrast to the most common test-optional policies, TLU operates as a test-blind college. This means that it does not consider or require SAT or ACT scores for admission purposes. Regardless of whether applicants submit test scores or not, they will not be factored into the admissions evaluation. However, in the 1 enrollment season, 1 of admitted students submitted SAT scores, and 1 submitted ACT scores for admission. The primary motivation behind test-blind policies is to promote equity and inclusivity in the admissions process. Please double-check with the school to verify the current and complete admission requirements.Required
