Today's Web-savvy students generally find the Interactive Web Application to be quicker and easier to complete—the application takes about 20 minutes to complete and submit. In addition, the Web Application checks the data that the student supplies and points out any errors or omissions the student has made, prompting the student to return to that section and supply the correct data. Once the student submits the application, the information automatically becomes part of the student's records at Penn State. The student will receive an e-mail message from Penn State acknowledging that the application has been received.
