Application information
First-year
Ready to join the Cardinal family? The application process has several advantages: no letters of recommendation, no essays, optional ACT/SAT score submission, automatic scholarship consideration and a quick admission decision. The University of Louisville seeks to admit students who are college-ready. Students who don't meet automatic admission standards will be considered on a one-on-one basis. Our goal is to evaluate all factors, and accept students who will be successful at UofL.
Students who choose to apply without ACT/SAT scores may be prompted to submit additional materials, depending upon their chosen major. Learn more about our admission standards. Please submit a high school transcript and $30 fee. Students on free or reduced lunch do not pay the fee.
We look forward to reviewing your application. We will work hard to help make your dream of attending UofL a reality. If you have any questions about the application process or next steps, please contact your personal admissions counselor.
