SUNY Potsdam Announces Free Application Week

SUNY Potsdam Offers Free Application Week for Undergraduate Applicants, from Feb. 22 to March 2, 2025

Potsdam, NY (02/18/2025) — SUNY Potsdam is pleased to announce another Free Application Week for all freshman and transfer applicants, running from Saturday, Feb. 22 through Sunday, March 2, 2025. This initiative aims to make the application process more accessible for prospective students and families.

"We are excited to offer another great opportunity to prospective students," said Director of Admissions Terry Francis '97 & '00. "SUNY Potsdam is a transformative place where students can discover their passions and define their future. We are always seeking ways to remove barriers and open doors for students. Our Admissions team, along with the entire campus, are here to help students write the next chapter in their story."

To take advantage, students just need to apply between Feb. 22 and March 2, using either the SUNY Application or the Common Application. During the period, the campus will cover the $50 application fee for all undergraduate applications.

The Free Application Week builds on SUNY Potsdam's emphasis on holistic admissions and access. SUNY Potsdam was proud to be the first campus in the SUNY System to move to test-optional admissions in 2010, shifting to an admissions process that focuses on applicants' track records in high school and/or college, rather than standardized test scores.

For anyone who is still curious about the campus, the Office of Admissions is open for personalized tours. To set up a visit or a chat with an admissions counselor, go to www.potsdam.edu/visit.
