High School Seniors
The March 1 preferred application deadline for first-time college students has passed. Although high school seniors still may apply, space in most programs is very limited and some programs are closed. The $30 application fee is nonrefundable. If you plan to apply, we encourage you to contact the Office of Admissions to speak with an admissions counselor.

Transfer Students
Space remains available for transfer students, whose curriculum requirements differ from first-year students. However, before applying transfer students should refer to our closed programs web page to ensure the program in which you are interested is open to transfer students.

Regional Campuses and College of Technology Locations
Space remains available for all students at Purdue’s regional campuses and College of Technology locations across Indiana. Click here to learn more about these locations.

Online Application
Our easy-to-use online application is for three types of students: individuals beginning college for the first time, transfer students, and international students. You can log in to the application via the above link, but you might want to read the FAQs below first.

(Reentry students and intercampus transfer students may download a PDF of the reentry application. Guest students and other area residents who wish to take a Purdue class as nondegree-seeking students should visit the Office of Admissions to apply.)

Online Application FAQs:

What are the software requirements?
A Web browser with a release of 2.0 or higher.

When can I apply?
After completing your junior year of high school. Apply as early as possible (September or October), because programs fill quickly. Visit the deadlines page for more information.

Access to the online application is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, with this exception: Saturdays between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. EST. Do not submit your application during this time because the system is shut down for routine backup and maintenance.

Do I have to complete the application in one sitting?
No. You have the option to save your application and complete it at a later time. Please also visit the high school counselor page.

How long will it take me?
Average time for completing the application for admission is 20 minutes, but we highly recommend that you take a few extra minutes to apply for a Preliminary Financial Aid Estimate if you're eligible to apply for one.
