The State University of New York at New Paltz operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, with priority given to applications received by December 1 for spring intake and February 1 for fall intake. Graduate programs have varying deadlines, typically ranging from March to June for fall enrollment and October to November for spring.
Prospective students should verify specific deadlines for their chosen program, as some departments enforce earlier cutoffs. International applicants are advised to apply at least three months prior to domestic deadlines to accommodate visa processing. Late applications may be considered if space permits.
