The University of Kentucky is test-optional through the 2028-29 academic year. This will allow most freshman applicants the option to be considered for admission without submission of ACT or SAT scores. The Office of Undergraduate Admission is able to evaluate most applicants for admission and scholarships without the use of test scores by reviewing the rigor of high school coursework, activities and engagement outside the classroom as well as a written essay. Learn more about our test optional policy at go.uky.edu/testoptional.

Students who wish to submit a standardized test score may request official scores be sent directly from the testing agency to UK or scores displayed on the official high school transcript will be considered. UK does not superscore.
