  • You will be notified by the Admission Office once your admission application is completed and under review.
  • All Freshman applicants must submit a High School Transcript, at least one letter of recommendation, and the application essay. Applicants are encouraged to submit SAT or ACT scores unless they are applying as a test optional candidate.

    The Early Decision application deadline is November 15th - admission decisions are released by December 15th. If you are ready to commit to Juniata, Early Decision is a binding agreement meaning that if admitted, you will attend and withdraw all applications to other schools. Applying Early Decision or Early Action is ideal for optimum scholarship consideration.
