Penn State Fayette: Requirements for Admissions

Requirements for Admissions

Admission decisions for first-year students are made on the basis of several combined factors including:

•Final grades in all subject areas for years nine, ten, and eleven of high school
•Weighted average or class rank for students who have taken AP/Honors courses
•Required Carnegie (high school) units
Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT)
