You're ready to make it official and commit to IUP. We're so excited you're joining us. Welcome to the IUP family!
You're only two quick steps away from making it official and becoming an IUP student. First, you'll want to accept your offer, then you'll pay your tuition deposit. To guarantee your place in the incoming class and on-campus housing, you'll need to pay your nonrefundable enrollment deposit of $150 by May 1 for a fall start (for a spring start, two weeks before the semester); but, you can accept your admissions as soon as you're ready. Please use the instructions for the semester you plan to start:
