Using the online application system, prospective students have access to their application twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The online application does not have to be filled out and submitted in one setting; rather, students are encouraged to take their time filling out the application and to e-mail gradschool@newpaltz.edu with any questions they may encounter during the application process before they finalize their application. Please keep in mind that many programs have specified deadlines for admission or may only accept students once per year. To ensure that your application will be reviewed, consult admission deadlines.
To conclude the online application process, students must submit their supplemental item packet which includes official transcripts, admissions essay, test scores and letters of recommendation before the admission deadline. All supplemental item packets received past the deadline or missing a required document will be considered incomplete and will be deferred to the following application cycle.
Please note that the online application requires payment of the $50 application fee by VISA or MasterCard and that the fee is non-refundable. If you are unable to pay by credit card, then you must fill out the paper application.
Online applications will be accepted according to the following schedule:
| Fall/Summer Admission | January 1 - May 15 |
| Spring Admission | August 1 - November 15 |
- Directions for Submitting an Online Application
- Graduate Studies Supplemental Item Packet
- International Graduate Studies Supplemental Item Packet
Please Note: Applications cannot be revised online; therefore, if you have questions or need to make changes to an application that you have already submitted, e-mail gradschool@newpaltz.edu
