To see a career counselor, students need to make an appointment. The staff provides admissions and financial aid information relevant to an adult learner's needs. Counseling services are offered to all adult students, degree and nondegree, full time and part time. The center schedules programs that meet early each semester to focus on issues that may affect adult learners. Orientation activities include an introduction to the center, information about various campus resources, a panel discussion involving adults who have made a successful transition to Penn State, and time for new student interaction.
Child care is available.
