Saratoga Seniors Offered “Instant Admission”to SUNY Adirondack

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Springs High School seniors have been offered “instant admission” to SUNY Adirondack for the Fall 2025 semester. 

Graduating Blue Streaks learned more about SUNY Adirondack from President Kristine Duffy at an event last month. At the gathering, students received acceptance packets, branded merchandise, and directions on how to proceed.

“We are thrilled to facilitate the college admissions process for students, removing barriers and making higher education more accessible,” Duffy said in a statement.

The instant admission offer was also extended to hundreds of local high school seniors in five area school districts, including Queensbury, Glens Falls, South Glens Falls, and Hudson Falls. SUNY Adirondack College Access and Enrollment Systems advisors worked directly with school counselors so students did not have to fill out applications.

“Your hard work should be in the classroom, not during the application process,” Duffy told students.

After being accepted, students interested in attending SUNY Adirondack can fill out an online form, selecting the field of study they wish to pursue and indicating if they are interested in one of SUNY Adirondack’s dual acceptance programs. Under those agreements, students who are accepted at SUNY Adirondack are also accepted to University at Albany, SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury, or SUNY Cobleskill. When the students complete requirements for an associate degree at SUNY Adirondack, they then seamlessly transfer to their selected four-year university without a second application process.

“These agreements help take the stress out of applying for college, and make the journey to a bachelor’s degree smoother,” Duffy said. “We hope more high schools become interested.”
