THE ONLINE APPLICATION IS CLOSED.
3/21/2022 COURSE UPDATE:
UNFORTUNATELY THE NETWORKS COURSE HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR THE 2022 PROGRAM CYCLE
2022 COVID-19 UPDATE:
Currently, we hope to offer a full on-campus program in 2022, featuring all 6 courses. However, that may be subject to change due to the ongoing pandemic. Please note that for an on-campus program, students will be living in university dormitories and therefore will be required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before arriving to campus. We are still working on details and protocols regarding the submission of documentation, medical and religious exemptions, etc. However, we did want to inform you that full vaccination is required.
If you have questions or concerns regarding ESAP, please contact us via email ONLY at esap@seas.upenn.edu. We ask that you DO NOT call our office or leave voicemail messages. We make every effort to respond to emails in a timely manner.
For applicants and institutions, please note that we are no longer able to accept transcripts (or any other documents) by mail or fax, as our office’s operations are being performed remotely. Please have your school send your official transcript via email, to esap@seas.upenn.edu. Transcripts will be uploaded to your account within 1-3 business days after receipt, if your online application has been submitted via College Net.
We appreciate your cooperation.

Before beginning the application below, please review the Application Requirements page in order to gather all of the necessary materials for both the online and supplemental portions of the application. Please read the Application Instructions below to assist you in completing your application. Your high school administrator must submit your OFFICIAL transcript by email as a PDF document in order for your application to be completed. Your application will be reviewed only after ALL supplemental materials have been received. Please log into the application portal to check the completion status of your application. WE DO NOT SEND NOTIFICATIONS FOR MISSING MATERIALS.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICANTS: If you are applying for financial aid, please click here to download the appropriate form(s). Your completed financial aid application and requested supplemental materials can be uploaded online on your CollegeNet dashboard, and should be submitted NO LATER than 10 days after your program application is submitted. Please note, applications without supporting documentation (W-2 form and most recent income tax return) are considered incomplete and WILL NOT be reviewed. Completed financial aid applications and supplemental documents must be uploaded to CollegeNet within 10 days of submitting the online program application.
DEADLINES: The priority deadline to submit your completed application is March 4th. If spaces remain available, completed applications received after the priority deadline will be reviewed on a rolling (ongoing) basis. The final deadline for all applications is April 1st. For applications received after the priority deadline, please allow AT LEAST 3 weeks for processing and review (wait times may be prolonged if your application is completed immediately after the priority deadline, as this is an extremely high volume time). You may check the completion status of your application at any time by logging into the application portal.
ADMISSION DECISIONS: Admission to ESAP is very selective, and based on our assessment of several factors: your academic interests, abilities, past achievements, your potential to actively contribute to your peers in the program, and your potential to gain a substantial learning experience through the program. You will be informed of an admission decision the week of April 4th if you submit your completed application by the priority deadline. All applications received after the priority deadline will be evaluated and notified of an admission decision on a rolling basis only.
