Admissions Process

Once you have submitted a complete application, uploaded your most recent high school transcript, and paid the $60 non-refundable application fee, your application will be queued for review. Initial admission decisions will begin to be released mid-January 2025 and then continue on a rolling basis. 

There are steps for the admission decision process:

1. Accept admissions offer.
2. Set up Purdue account login.
3. Click "Accept Admissions Offer" in myPurdue New Student Tasklist.
4. Pay the $500 non-refundable admissions deposit (applicable to most students).
   
   • After an admission decision has been made, you will receive an email notifying you a decision has been made and directing you to log into your application portal. Your admission decision will be available under "View Decisions." If you have been offered admission, you will receive a general admission letter communicating your admission to Summer College for High School Students as a whole. Be sure to read through the letter carefully. Please note: This letter will not include what short-term course or special program you may have been admitted to.
   • Within 2-3 business days of receiving the general admissions decision, you will receive an email from a Pre-College Pathways team member with the short-term course or special program decision. 
   • Once you receive your short-term course or special program decision, you are ready to accept your offer!

Please note: Due to the popularity of our short-term courses, students will only be initially admitted into one short-term experience. Any opportunity to participate in an additional short-term course will be announced in early spring.
