First-year Students / Admissions Step 1

 Step 1 :  Application Process and Deadlines 

Penn State operates on modified rolling admissions, which means there is no deadline for applying.  However, we recommend that applications for first-year admission be submitted by November 30th.  Applications will be accepted after that date, but as admissions criteria rise throughout the academic year, it may become more difficult to gain acceptance to your first choice campus or academic program.
