Review admission standards
Loyola is a test blind institution. SAT and ACT scores will not be considered during the admissions process. See our Test Blind FAQ for more information.
Applicants who should still submit their test scores:
Louisiana applicants: Please submit qualifying SAT or ACT scores, as required by the Louisiana Office of Financial Student Assistance (LOFSA). Loyola will use the score to determine TOPS eligibility, but it will not factor the test score into an admissions decision.
Recruited athletes: Currently, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), which governs Loyola Athletics, requires a test score for eligibility for the 2021-2022 academic year. However, an exception was made by NAIA for the 2020-2021 academic year. Please visit the NAIA Eligibility Center for the most current information.
