Applying to The Haven

Application instructions

Please read this page completely prior to completing the application form.

Application Process

The Office of Admissions operates on a rolling admissions basis. Admissions decisions are generally rendered within 10-12 business days after receiving all required documents. High school students may apply after the completion of their junior year.

All documents should be forwarded to:
Office of Admissions
Lock Haven University
Lock Haven, PA 17745
admissions@LHUP.edu

Note: Students who have applied for admission to Lock Haven University within the past three years do not need to complete a new application.  Instead, students must complete a reactivation form to reactivate their application for a future semester. There is no cost to reactivate an application.

Freshmen Students

Carefully complete the online application form. It is important that proper spelling and capitalization be used. The most desirable time for freshmen to apply for fall admission is between August 1 and January 1, although applications will continue to be accepted after this time.
