How To Apply

Apply to Binghamton University

Applying to an undergraduate program at a world-class institution like Binghamton University marks an exciting next step in your life. Here, you explore your interests, build lasting connections and engage in the self-discovery that illuminates your passions.

Which type of applicant are you?

Before you start your application, it’s essential to understand your applicant type. From there, you can take the appropriate steps to apply to Binghamton.

• First-Year Applicant

  You are a first-year applicant if you are currently enrolled in high school — even if you've taken college-level credits during high school. If you're a high school graduate who has not taken any college-level credits since you graduated, you should also apply as a first-year applicant.

  First-year applicants may apply for early action (November 1) or regular admission (January 15) decisions.

• Transfer Applicant

  We consider a transfer applicant to be someone who graduated from high school and has completed (or will have completed) at least one three-credit college course prior to the semester of planned enrollment.

  You are an international applicant if you are not a U.S. citizen and currently hold or will obtain an F or J Visa to study in the United States as a first-year or transfer student.

• Current / Returning / Non-degree

  A current student is a Binghamton University undergraduate student who wishes to either transfer to another school within the University or obtain a double degree.

  A returning student is someone who has been out of school for three or more consecutive major semesters and wishes to re-enroll in the same program of study.

  A non-degree student (also called non-matriculated or continuing education student) is someone who isn't enrolled in a degree-earning program and is taking courses just to learn, not to earn a degree.
