First-year Students/Admissions

We recommend future Penn State students apply for admission online.  To do so, you must create a MyPennState account.  MyPennState is your one-stop shop for customizing your Penn State admissions experience.  Your personal MyPennState account will allow you apply online, print a paper application, receive customized messages and check the status of your application.

Once you have created your MyPennState account, make sure to remember your user ID and password. You will need this information each time you log into your application to complete additional sections, check the status of your application and to communicate with the Undergraduate Admissions Office. The link below will take you to the online application.
