Again, SUNY Plattsburgh has been named among the top schools in the 2009 edition of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report, as well as one of the "100 best values" among public universities in the United States by Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. I am very proud that we received special recognition in U.S. News & World Report for our large and diverse international student enrollment. As a matter of fact, we enroll approximately 400 international undergraduates (more than 7% of our total undergraduate population) from 60 countries.
International undergraduate applicants now have two options to apply for admission - the Common Application and the SUNY Plattsburgh International Undergraduate Application. Links to both of these applications are available on our website:
Common Application - https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/default.aspx

This summer, we began construction on a new, earth-friendly addition to Hudson Hall. Housing the Center for Earth and Environmental Science and chemistry and physics programs, Hudson Hall is one of the two main science buildings on campus. The new addition is slated for completion in 2012.
Furthermore, President Obama has named SUNY Plattsburgh Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Nancy Elwess a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring.

We use rolling admission so there is no specific application deadline, but we encourage completed applications by no later than April 1 for September entry and November 1 for January entry. We begin reviewing applications for fall enrollment in November. For the fall 2009 semester, we were "full" before May 15.
I look forward to hearing from you. And I love *old-fashioned* email and phone calls!
Sincerely,
