While we are excited to offer students admission to IUP, we understand that not every admitted student will choose to attend when first offered admission. It is important for us to know that you have made other plans so that we can properly process your application.
Maybe you're not sure yet. That's okay, too. Take the time you need to explore IUP and the amazing experiences that await you here. We hope that the more you learn, the more you'll be able to picture yourself succeeding here.
We hope that you don't, but if you're thinking about declining your offer, first consider these things:
-
Are you sure you don't plan on coming to IUP? There's no harm in waiting to make that choice. If you're not 100 percent sure, take some time to think it over. We're ready when you are.
-
If you choose "Decline Offer," you'll receive an email where you'll need to verify that decision. Your application will not be canceled until Admissions receives the confirmation.
-
We're always here for you. We want what's best for you, so if you change your mind, and would like to commit to IUP after declining your offer, email us at admissions-inquiry@iup.edu.
