Step 2) The Application
We recommend future Penn State students apply for admission on-line. To do so, you will first create a My Penn State account. (See information below about creating your My Penn State account.) My Penn State is your one-stop shop for customizing your Penn State admissions experience. Your My Penn State will allow you to apply on-line, print a paper application, receive customized messages and check the status of your application.
- Make sure to remember your My Penn State user ID and password.
