Admissions

Plymouth State University is an exclusive user of the Common Application.

Common Application Instructions & Requirements

Go to Common Application to complete the Common Application and the PSU Supplement.  PSU encourages that all application materials be received online.

• PSU’s supplement and application fee need to be submitted at the same time as the online Common Application.
• For those who have been out of school for a few years or are non-traditional, you may prefer to download the application from the Common Application Web site, complete it and submit it by mail.  PSU’s Common Application Supplement, Application Fee form, and fee must also be submitted by mail.
• Please do not mix and match your application, supplement, and payment between online and paper submission by mail.
• PSU recommends making a copy of your completed application to keep for your files.

High school students and others considering college for the first time should look at our instructions and requirements for new students.

And don’t pass up the chance to request our viewbook about Plymouth State, our campus and our programs or come visit us for a tour.
