The admission process at SUNY New Paltz involves several steps. Prospective students must submit an online application through either the SUNY Application or Common App. Required materials include high school transcripts, SAT/ACT scores (optional for some programs), a personal essay, and one letter of recommendation.
Deadlines vary by semester, with priority given to early submissions. Transfer students need college transcripts and may require program-specific criteria. International applicants must provide English proficiency test scores (e.g., TOEFL/IELTS). Some programs mandate portfolios or auditions. Decisions are released on a rolling basis, with admitted students receiving follow-up instructions for enrollment deposits and orientation.
