Graduates of an accredited four-year high school or holders of a GED equivalency diploma are qualified to apply for admission to IUP. Students who have completed the junior year of high school may file an application any time after July 1.
Requests for applications should be addressed to
Office of Admissions
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Sutton Hall, Suite 120
1011 South Drive
Indiana, PA 15705
724-357-2230
An online application for admission is available at www.iup.edu/admissions/undergraduate/applynow.
The Admissions Committee, giving equal opportunity to all students, will take the following criteria into consideration when reviewing each application: grades and courses taken, SAT or ACT scores, high school counselor recommendations, and other pertinent information that would be helpful to the Admissions Committee in making decisions. SAT or ACT scores are not required for transfer applicants, veterans, or applicants who have graduated from high school more than one year before applying. However, transcripts from high school and all colleges previously attended are required of all applicants.
Applicants are strongly urged to take the usual college preparatory program in high school. Applicants should also take any available high school courses in the field of their intended major. Certain majors at IUP require completion of a foreign language at the intermediate level to earn a bachelor’s degree. The Admissions Committee does not require an applicant to take a foreign language in high school for admission to these majors; however, it is in the student’s best interest to do so.
It is possible for some students with outstanding grades to receive an offer of admission based on their strong high school transcript before SAT or ACT scores are submitted. We still require SAT/ACT scores for scholarship consideration and strongly urge all students to submit them as soon as possible to fully complete their IUP application.
Applications are considered by the Admissions Committee on a rolling basis. Under a rolling admissions policy, applications are reviewed as they become complete. Decisions can range from automatic acceptance, to requests for additional information, to other alternatives, with a May 1 deadline for nonrefundable tuition deposits.
Academically qualified applicants to the departments of Art, Music, and Theater and Dance will be admitted to the university by the Admissions Committee. However, admission to the requested major will be subject to the acceptance by the Department of Art after a portfolio review and by the departments of Music, and Theater and Dance after an audition. Students will receive information from the Art, Music, and Theater and Dance departments concerning auditions and portfolio reviews once they have been accepted to IUP.
