Spring & Fall 2010 Applicants
Undergraduate students have two options to apply for admission - the Common Application and the SUNY Application. Please complete and submit only one:
Common Application
The Common Application is accepted by 392 colleges and universities nationwide. It allows you to apply to multiple public and private schools with one application. The Common Application includes the college essay and a letter of recommendation. Students applying through the common application will need to submit the following additional items:
Once the Common Application is submitted online, SUNY Plattsburgh will download it within 1-2 weeks. Other items should be mailed through the US Postal Service.

SUNY Application
The State University of New York (SUNY) Application is accepted by most of the 64 SUNY Campuses. It allows you to apply to multiple campuses with one application. Students applying through the SUNY Application will need to submit the following additional items:

The application fee is $40.00 for either service. Both are viewed equally by the Admissions Committee. While we strongly encourage you to apply online, you can also submit a paper application. To request a paper SUNY Application, please call (800) 342-3811. To download a paper Common Application, please go to www.commonapp.org.
Additional Information
Domestic Freshmen and Transfers
Applications receive optimal consideration when submitted by December 1 (for freshmen) or March 1 (for transfers) for the fall semester, and by November 1 for the spring semester. Candidates are encouraged to apply early.
EOP Applicants
Students who are interested in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and wish to use the Common Application must contact the Admissions Office after submitting the application to be considered for EOP. Students using the SUNY Application only need to indicate their interest on the application.
Please note: The Educational Opportunity Program requires a 250-word autobiography. We strongly encourage EOP applicants to choose Topic 5: "Topic of your Choice" on the SUNY Supplemental and submit an autobiography as this will meet the requirements for both admissions and EOP.
International Students
If you are an international student (not a United States citizen and not a permanent resident of the United States), you may use SUNY Plattsburgh's international application or the Common Application to apply for admission. Please review the international admission requirements and download the International Application Instructions and Application Form or the Common Application.
Graduate Students
If you are interested in our Graduate Programs, take a look at graduate admission requirements and download the Graduate Application Form (PDF file size 250Kb).
Readmission
Students who are seeking to be readmitted or reinstated to SUNY Plattsburgh should complete the application for readmission. Learn more about readmission.
