Getting sick, landing a new job, moving across the country or even across the street — not everything sticks to a tight schedule. So why should your college admissions application?
ROLLING DEADLINE
We understand that sometimes life happens, and to accommodate we have a rolling deadline for admission here at PSU. That means that though we have a few firm deadlines — scholarship availability, on-campus housing, and eligibility for WUE and Tuition Free Degree — applications for admissions are accepted nearly year-round.
Though we have a rolling admissions deadline, it’s important to remember that the earlier you apply, the more likely you are to get into certain courses and receive PSU-specific scholarships (deadlines for which are always in the fall term).
The Perks
- You hear back fast. We know how stressful it can be to wait. Our submission window means that if you apply before the priority deadlines (Dec. 1 for First-years and Feb. 1 for Transfers), you’ll hear from us in about two weeks! Even past those deadlines you can expect a response in less than a month.
- Always accessible. Our rolling application deadline means that you can apply early or late in the admissions process. Want to apply a year in advance of your start term? Perfect. What about just a few months before? Works for us. All we care about is you applying and getting one step closer to that dream career.
- Immediate action. A rolling application process means that your applications is looked at as soon as it is received by our admissions team. This means a faster response and an almost immediate notification if your application is missing any components. We want you to have the most possible time to get everything together before any financial aid deadlines.
At PSU, supporting our students and prospective students is the number one priority, and our rolling admissions deadline ensures that applicants have ample time to apply and get into college. You want to make a difference, and our job is to help make that happen.
*Did you know that students interested in transferring to PSU don’t have to finish up their summer term before applying? You can apply while taking classes at another institution and submit transcripts later! Just another way PSU makes applying easy.
Review our admissions requirements and priority deadlines (used for determining financial aid awards) and submit your application today. Or tomorrow. Whenever works for you. But you know what they say, there’s no time like the present.
