IUP Students
Good news! We can waive your $50 app fee if you are currently enrolled at IUP or already earned a degree from IUP. Please contact graduate-admissions@iup.edu for an application fee waiver. In addition, we will be able to pull your IUP transcript for your graduate application.
The Documents You’ll Need for Your Application
- Official transcripts from all degree-awarding colleges and universities
- Goal statement that describes your career and academic goals.
- Letters of recommendation, which you can request through your admissions profile.
Your degree of choice may have some program-specific requirements to familiarize yourself with. For students outside the US, our international student requirements become a must-read.
The coordinator for your program will review your application once we’ve received all your documents. You can log on to your admissions profile at any time to check the status of your application. Once we make an admissions decision, you’ll also hear from us by email.
All materials submitted in support of your application become the property of IUP. The university scans documents into an electronic application file and destroys the paper copy shortly after. We are unable to return any original or official documents to students.
