Common Application Instructions & Requirements

Go to Common Application to complete the Common Application and the PSU Supplement.

• PSU’s supplement and application fee need to be submitted at the same time as the Common Application.
• The Common Application, PSU’s supplement and application fee (or fee waiver) should either be submitted entirely online, or all by mail. Please do not mix and match your application, supplement, and payment between online and paper submission.
• PSU encourages that all application materials be received online. If you prefer, the application can be downloaded from the Common Application Web site and submitted by mail. PSU’s Supplement, Application Fee form, and fee must also be submitted 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 order a free viewbook of our campus and programs or come visit us for a tour.

Requirements For Other Applicants

• Have you been out of school for a couple years? PSU’s focus on experience and exploration is ideal for those looking to return to school. Please take a look at our special instructions for non-traditional students.
• Transfer students: PSU is a top destination for students looking for lower cost alternatives to other four year colleges or to continue their education beyond community college. Complete the above application instructions and review special information about transferring to PSU.
