Senior Year Swap

Senior Year Swap allows high school seniors to replace their senior year of high school with a year of classes at Kutztown University.  The courses taken at Kutztown University will fulfill all senior year graduation requirements.

In addition to the required freshman application materials, which include the official high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores (if applicable), you will need to send the following materials to be considered for admission as a Senior Year Swap student:

  • Parental approval
  • Guidance counselor recommendation and approval
  • Principal recommendation and approval
  • Superintendent recommendation and approval
  • List of courses that will qualify you for high school graduation 

Please apply using the Kutztown University application and select the Senior Year Swap option.  Please provide all supporting documents to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. 

The recommended date to apply for Senior Year Swap is by May 1, and the final deadline is July 1.
