3. Send items 1 and 2 to the graduate student records secretary at aeinfo@engr.psu.edu, the 3rd Friday of October. You can submit these electronically. You need NO letters of reference or copy of your transcript.
4. Apply to the PSU Graduate School electronically from the following link--item 8 and pay the $45 registration fee: http://www.engr.psu.edu/ae/application/graduate.asp
5. You will be notified of the outcome in several weeks. Students participating in the Leeds Exchange Program will not receive their fall grades until later during spring semester. Therefore, students with a GPA less than 3.5 should only expect to receive provisional admission.
