Yes, all first-year applicants must complete and submit a Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR). Your application will only be evaluated after we have received all your required materials, including your SRAR.
The only students exempt from submitting the SRAR are:

But, if your curriculum follows the traditional U.S. educational grading system, you should still submit the SRAR.
If your curriculum doesn’t follow the traditional U.S. educational grading system, contact us at admissions@psu.edu for further instructions.
