How to set up your Puget Sound account and view your application status

After submitting your Common Application, you should get an email from admission@pugetsound.edu with the subject line, "Action Required: Create your Puget Sound account." (Don't see it? Check your email's spam or junk mail folder!)

In the email, you will need to use the temporary password in order to create a password and activate your account, which will allow you to:

  • View which admission and financial aid materials we have received and which are currently missing
  • Complete applications for our special programs and/or talent-based scholarships
  • Access your decision (when available)

If a required item is not listed as received, we either have not yet received or processed it. It may take a few days for us to process materials once we receive them, so we appreciate your patience during peak submission periods. We understand that parts of the application, such as test scores, letters of recommendation, and transcripts may arrive after the application deadline. While candidates will not be penalized or at a disadvantage in the review process, notification may be delayed depending on when we receive late materials.

If you need help getting into your account, reset your credentials.

Please check your junk mail or spam folder. If you cannot find the initial email we sent you, contact us at admission@pugetsound.edu and we can send it to you again at the email address on file.
