Transfer Admissions ... Step 2

We recommend that future Penn State students apply for admission on-line. To do so, you need to create a My Admissions account. My Admissions is your one-stop shop for customizing your Penn State admissions experience. My admissions will create an admissions account that 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 Admissions user ID and password. You'll need this each time you log into Penn State.

Want a paper application? You'll still need to create a My Admissions account to request a paper application on-line. You can also call the Penn State Beaver Admissions Office at 1-877-JOIN-PSU or email us at br-admissions@psu.edu and we will send one to you in the next day's mail.

   • If you choose to submit a paper application and are requesting Beaver campus, please send or bring your completed application to the Penn State Beaver Office of Admissions for personalized processing.
   • The extracurricular and activities portion of the application is optional. However, it may help us in making a decision about your admission to Penn State.
