Undergraduate Admissions Application Final Checklist

Thank you for planning to apply to William Paterson University! Click the help button at any time while in the application to see our instructions page.

Please check the following four items before proceeding:

Email Required: An e-mail address is required, as future communication about your application will be via e-mail. If you do not have one, they are available for free from several vendors, including Google, Hotmail, Yahoo and many others.

No Spam: Add "admissions@wpunj.edu", Undergraduate Admissions, to your e-mail address book/contacts to ensure that your e-mail account will accept messages from us.

Submit Application in One Sitting: Applicants are required to complete the online application in one sitting and to hit the "Submit My Application" button when finished; unfinished applications will be deleted the following day. The application takes about five minutes to complete.

Application Fee: Our application fee is $50.00.

Pay online: Applicants may pay the application fee online with a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express only) or directly from a bank account (checking or savings) during the application process. This is the ONLY TIME that an application fee may be paid online. Upon finishing this payment process, the online application will be submitted.

Pay with check/money order: The application fee may also be paid by mailing a personal check or money order after submission of the online application. Follow the instructions provided.

Fee waivers: If you have already attended an OFFICIAL visit to the University, you will have the application fee waived. If scheduled for an upcoming official visit, you will receive an application fee waiver upon arrival. Please choose the “Pay Later” option in the online application and do not pay your application fee; previously paid application fees are NOT refundable.

Readmit Applicants: Previously enrolled WPUNJ undergraduate students applying for readmission are NOT required to pay an application fee. Please choose the “Pay Later” option in the online application and do not pay your application fee; previously paid application fees are NOT refundable.
