Step 4: Submit Required Application Materials

In order to complete your Penn State application, we need the following materials:

• Application
• First-year Applicants:

  First-year applicants will be asked to complete a Self-reported Academic Record (SRAR) as part of the application process.

• For Students who have completed a GED:
  Official GED transcript

  If your high school is in operation and able to provide a transcript, it is to your advantage to submit one as high school course work may influence eligibility for specific programs.

• For Adult Transfer Students:
  If you are an adult learner and have completed 18 or more credits at a regionally accredited university, you may be considered for admission without a high school transcript by confirming your graduation from high school.

  Students who completed high school outside of the US are required to submit high school transcripts and/or GED transcripts as part of the application. Please review our international admissions requirements.

• Official university or college transcripts (if applicable)

Some programs require additional items to complete your application. For full details on what is required for adult students and military students, please review our Admissions Requirements.
