First-year Students / Admissions Step 3

First-Year Summer Session and Fall Semester Admission
We strongly recommend that complete applications be filed by November 30.

Applications with all credentials (including the application fee, high school transcript and SAT or ACT scores) are evaluated after they are complete. Many programs and campuses are filled by qualified early applicants. Individuals filing an application after November 30 will find admission to popular programs and campuses, and the availability of housing at campuses other than University Park, limited.

First-Year Spring Semester Admission
Complete applications with all credentials (including high school transcript and SAT I or ACT scores) for spring semester admission should be received by November 1.
