Students may apply to Juniata using the Common Application any time after completion of their junior year in secondary school. The Office of Admission reviews student applications holistically. We consider a student’s high school transcript, Common Application essay, recommendation letters, standardized test scores (if provided, we are a test-optional school), interactions with the College, and student engagement both inside and outside the school community. There is no application fee, and students are encouraged to apply early in the fall of their senior year to be considered for available merit scholarships.

Applicants are considered transfer students if they have graduated from an approved secondary school program and completed the equivalent of one full-time semester of coursework at a regionally accredited community college, junior college, or four-year institution. The Office of Admission reviews student applications holistically. A transfer application consists of the application itself, final high school transcript, standardized test scores if provided, and college transcript(s).
