Decision Days
In Indiana: October 11 (Columbus Day), November 11 (Veterans Day), and November 29, 2021
In Philadelphia: November 18, 2021
Join us for an IUP Decision Day and skip the drama of waiting for an acceptance letter. Tour campus, meet the people who will help you achieve your goals, and get an admissions decision the same day. What's not to love? Spots are limited, so register today.
To Get a Decision
To receive a decision on the day you visit, follow these steps:
- Apply. Apply online prior to your visit, or bring all the information you'll need to complete an application on decision day.
- Submit Required Items. You will need to provide the following items to receive a decision the day of the event. They can be uploaded to your application prior to the event, or you can bring them with you that day.
- High school transcripts
- Transfer students only: All college transcripts. High school seniors taking college courses do not need to bring a college transcript to get a decision.
The admissions committee will review your application materials while you are touring campus. By the time you are ready to leave campus, you'll know your decision.
Please note: ACT/SAT scores ARE OPTIONAL for Fall 2022. Freshman students only need to apply and submit high school transcripts in order to receive a decision.
Who Should Come
All visitors are welcome on a Decision Day, regardless of whether you plan to apply. This event includes all of the features of our regular weekday visits.
How and When to Register
Registration is required. Register by clicking the red button above. Complete the registration form using the student's information and email address. If there's more than one prospective student in your group, please register each individually, but include any adults and other guests in the registration of only one student.
We suggest you register as soon as possible because these events often reach capacity far in advance. After you submit the registration form, confirmation materials will be emailed to both the student and parent email address (if provided) listed on the registration form.
Decision Day in Philadelphia
We will also be holding a Decision Day in Philadelphia on November 18, 2021. (School excuses will be available for students who attend). The event will be held at Courtyard Philadelphia Avenue, 4100 Presidential Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19131. Please select that date to register if you are planning to attend.
Frequently Asked Questions

If you are not admissible, you will have an opportunity to speak with IUP admissions counselors about your options.
