How to Apply
The students who come to Appalachian create a learning environment that is at once stimulating, lively, and friendly. Actually, these admission forms are the most impersonal thing you're likely to encounter on our otherwise congenial campus.
Submitting the Application
To make the application process easier, we encourage you to apply on-line. Why? It's easy (the on-line form has detailed instructions). It's safe (the data is encrypted). And applying on-line also means a shorter review and notification process.
If it is not possible for you to apply on-line, please contact our office for further assistance. Admissions representatives are available weekdays (Monday-Friday) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Call 828-262-2120; e-mail admissions@appstate.edu; or contact us if you have any questions. How you apply--on-line or paper-- won't have any bearing on the admission decision.
